The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in HF
Options
- Aion-induced dipole
- Bdipole-dipole
- Cdipole-induced dipole
- Dion-dipole
Correct answer
B. dipole-dipole
Step-by-step solution
Hydrogen bond is simply dipole-dipole attraction within oppositely partially charged ends. In HF molecule, electronegativity difference is remarkable, due to which it behaves as a dipole. In the gaseous state several HF molecules polymerises through H -bonding.
