The formation of H bonds with O containing hydrocarbons depends much on the linking of oxygen atom with a particular C atom in the hydrocarbon chain The following considerations should be kept in mind while making out the behaviour solubility of a hydrocarbon molecule with water molecules 1 O is a small sized electronegative atom favoring formation of H bonds 2 Alkyl groups are electon releasing group 3 When all the carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon molecule along with an oxygen atom are bonded with sigma bonds the electon density over oxygen atom is still more increased due to ive    See Answer
