Which of the following correctly describes a hydrogen bond?

Options

  1. AA hydrogen bond is a chemical bond formed between two hydrogen atoms.
  2. BA hydrogen bond is a type of covalent bond formed between two nonmetals.
  3. CA hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic attraction between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom and a
  4. DA hydrogen bond is a strong chemical bond formed when hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to produce water.

Correct answer

C. A hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic attraction between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom and a

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) A hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic attraction between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine in a different molecule.
