Study Notes
Hydrogen Bonds
- Hydrogen bonds represent the strongest type of intermolecular force.
- These bonds form between molecules containing hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative elements like fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen.
- The electronegativity difference results in a highly polarized hydrogen, creating a partial positive charge (δ+).
- This δ+ hydrogen atom is attracted to the lone pairs of electrons on a small, highly electronegative atom in a neighboring molecule.
- These hydrogen bonds bridge two molecules (larger) than the internal covalent bonds within the molecules
- The hydrogen bond is often depicted as a dashed or dotted line.
