what is hydrogen bonding?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular bonding that is an enhanced version of the dipole-dipole force. Hydrogen bonding occurs due to uneven sharing of electrons.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in solvents which contain electronegative atom like oxygen, and hydrogen attached to an electronegative atom,this phenomenon takes place. primarily,the bond between oxygen and hydrogen gets polarised and hence hydrogen gets a slight +ve charge, now the unpaired electrons on oxygen attract these partially charged hydrogen , hence forming hydrogen bond. ps:it holds true for electronegative atoms like nitrogen,chlorine but is mostly prevalent in oxygen . ex:water :)

it is a strong dipole-dipole interaction bw a hydrogen bound to an electronegative atom and anothr electronegative atm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As the name "hydrogen bond" implies, one part of the bond involves a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen must be attached to a strongly electronegative heteroatom, such as oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine, which is called the hydrogen-bond donor. This electronegative element attracts the electron cloud from around the hydrogen nucleus and, by decentralizing the cloud, leaves the atom with a positive partial charge. Because of the small size of hydrogen relative to other atoms and molecules, the resulting charge, though only partial, nevertheless represents a large charge density. A hydrogen bond results when this strong positive charge density attracts a lone pair of electrons on another heteroatom, which becomes the hydrogen-bond acceptor.

ummm this is a math site braww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but there's no chemistry group.with largest number of people online in this group the probability of getting answer is high . sly, dude ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

smart i must admit n u got the answer any way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AND..... Generally people good at maths are also good in other science subjects too !!!!!
