Concept introduction:

Hydrogen bond is defined as the weak bond formed between two molecules having large electro negativity difference and is usually formed between a electropositive proton and electronegative elements such as oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen.

Answer to Problem 58A

Correct answer: $H_2\text{}O$, $H_2\text{}{O}_2$, $HF$, $N{H}_3{}_{\text{}}$

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option: For Hydrogen bond, Hydrogen atom should be attached to Oxygen, Nitrogen and Fluorine and in above given options one can see hydrogen is attached to these three and thus forms hydrogen bond.

Conclusion

Reasons for incorrect options: All options are correct.
