what is hydrogen bonding?
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.
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
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
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 ;)
smart i must admit n u got the answer any way
AND..... Generally people good at maths are also good in other science subjects too !!!!!
