Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of hydrogen bonds?
Correct Answer: Hydrogen bonds occur between hydrogen and highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
  • Step 1: Understand what a hydrogen bond is. It is a type of weak attraction.
  • Step 2: Identify the atoms involved in hydrogen bonds. They involve hydrogen and highly electronegative atoms.
  • Step 3: Recognize which atoms are highly electronegative. These include oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine.
  • Step 4: Conclude that hydrogen bonds specifically occur between hydrogen and these electronegative atoms.
