How is hydrogen bond defined?

Options

  1. AIt is the sharing of electrons between two hydrogen atoms.
  2. BIt is the attractive force between two hydrogen atoms.
  3. CIt is the attractive force between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom of another molecule.
  4. DIt is the repulsive force between two hydrogen atoms.

Correct answer

C. It is the attractive force between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom of another molecule.

Step-by-step solution

A hydrogen bond is the attractive force that binds a hydrogen atom of one molecule with the electronegative atom (F, O, or N) of another molecule.
