Question

What type of molecules will display hydrogen bonding? a)All nonpolar molecules.

b) All polar molecules. c)Nonpolar molecules containing fluorine or hydrogen. d)Polar molecules containing a hydrogen directly bonded to an electronegative atom( nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine) ​

Answer 1

d)Polar molecules containing a hydrogen directly bonded to an electronegative atom will display hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom (N, O, or F and nother). For example, molecule of water will display intermolecular hydrogen bonding: (rotate the picture)
