Question

in which case no hydrogen bonding is possible?
A) HCL
B) NH3
C) HF
D)H2O

Answer 1

EXPLAIN WHY ?

Answer 2

Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom bonds with strongly electro-negative element in the 2nd period like N ,O and F...

Answer 3

i didn't get it what you said

Answer 4

do u know about electronegativity ?

Answer 5

what you meant to say

Answer 6

yup

Answer 7

what happens when the electronegativty of an element increase ?

Answer 8

electonegative means tendency to give away the extra e's

Answer 9

or tendency to attract the bonding

Answer 10

no.... eletronegativity means the tendency of an atom to attract electrons toward it self...

Answer 11

okay

Answer 12

but it is said like Cl {chlorine} it gives away one e's to to become electronegative

Answer 13

Cl does not give away electrons... It attracts them...

Answer 14

but it is Cl negative

Answer 15

every element has a electronegativity value... there r various scales to measure them... pauling scale is an example

Answer 16

in puling scale even Na who gives away electrons to form bonds have en electronegative value

Answer 17

but it's a very small value..

Answer 18

thats what im saying

Answer 19

Na + and Cl - form NaCl

Answer 20

so acc to you Cl is electronegative so it attracts Na

Answer 21

nope.. im saying something different...

Answer 22

Cl attracts electrone

Answer 23

so it attracts the electron of Na... so Na will get a delata (+) charge... since Cl attract electron cl will gain a (-) charge... now the static electric charges of Cl (+) and Na(-) attracts both of them together , thus a bond form

Answer 24

okay got it bro

Answer 25

in simple words the es which have more electonegative charge is more powerful

Answer 26

yep!

Answer 27

to create hydrogen bonding this value should stay at maximum

Answer 28

and only N , O and F has enough eletrconegativity for it...
