Question

question 10 (1 point)
hydrogen bonds will form between a hydrogen atom in one molecule and which atom in another molecule?
nitrogen
sulfur
chlorine
all of the above
you can use this periodic table during the quiz.
however, as stated in the course outline, and in the orientation session, this quiz is not open book.
you cannot access course material while you write the quiz. nor can you google your answers, work as a group, use a cheat sheet, etc.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom. Nitrogen is electronegative enough to form hydrogen bonds. Sulfur is less electronegative than nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine (the main ones for hydrogen bonding) and doesn't typically form strong hydrogen bonds. Chlorine, although electronegative, due to its larger size and the way it shares electrons, doesn't form hydrogen bonds as effectively as nitrogen (in common hydrogen - bonding scenarios like in biological molecules). So not all of the above.

Answer:

nitrogen
