  1. Occurs between two hydrogen atoms
  2. Involves a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom
  3. Is stronger than covalent bonds
  4. Is a type of ionic bond

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of hydrogen bonding?
  • Step 1: Understand what hydrogen bonding is. It is a type of attraction between molecules.
  • Step 2: Identify the key components of hydrogen bonding. It involves a hydrogen atom.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the hydrogen atom must be bonded to a highly electronegative atom. Common examples are oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N).
  • Step 4: Conclude that hydrogen bonding occurs due to the attraction between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative atom in another molecule.
