Identify the correct sequence with respect to the strength of hydrogen bonding among the following.
Options
- AH ₂ O ₂> H ₂ O > HF > H ₂ ~S
- BH ₂ O > HF > H ₂ O ₂> H ₂ ~S
- CH ₂ O > HF > H ₂ ~S > H ₂ O ₂
- DH ₂ O > HF > H ₂ O ₂> H ₂ ~S
Correct answer
A. H ₂ O ₂> H ₂ O > HF > H ₂ ~S
Step-by-step solution
Strength of hydrogen bonding depends on the electronegativity of atom. In H ₂ O ₂ , number of donor atoms for hydrogen bonding is more as compared to H ₂ O . H ₂ O has more donor atoms than HF for hydrogen bonding. So, the correct order of strength of hydrogen bonding is H ₂ O ₂> H ₂ O > HF > H ₂ ~S
