Hydrogen bonds are only formed in Alcohol in organic compunds right?? & not in Aldehyde & ketone & carboxylic acid right???
Then suppose if there is a substance which contains alcohol & any one from Aldehyde or ketone ot carboxylic acid then there will be hydrogen bond formed?? Or any one of this 3 is in mixture with water then will they form hydrogen bond???

Noo i have none. But why do you need them though??? they are very old. solving from 2002 to 2010 is much more than enough for practice.

Hydrogen bonds are formed in both Alcohols and Carboxylic acids.
The reason for this is because they both have the -OH part.
The oxygen is partially negative and the hydrogen is partially positive, which allows them to create hydrogen bonds.

Just saying, you should try to understand WHY the hydrogen bond is created, so you can work it out during a test :D

Hope it helped.
