Question

Define hydrogen bonding ?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Hydrogen bonding is observed in the molecule having hydrogen atom that is attached to the more electronegative atoms like F, O or N. The electronegative atom attracts the shared pair of electrons so this end of the molecule becomes slightly negative while the other end becomes slightly positive and as a result of this, a weak bond is bond between them which is termed as hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding is represented as a dotted line in the diagram below:
