Question
- hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that exists between polar molecules that contain hydrogen bonded to what other atom? select all that apply
carbon
nitrogen
oxygen
fluorine
Brief Explanations
Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms. The electronegative atoms that can form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen are Fluorine (F), Oxygen (O), and Nitrogen (N). Carbon is not electronegative enough to form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen in the context of intermolecular hydrogen bonding for this type of interaction. So we select Fluorine, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.
