Chapter 15, Problem 15.15P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Molecules among ${\text{H}}_2$, ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}$, $\text{HF}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}$ that exhibit only hydrogen bonding has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

All types of molecules have some kind of attractive force that keeps them together. Polar molecules that have elements that are high in electronegativity like nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine directly attached to hydrogen atom exhibit hydrogen bonding. They are held together by hydrogen bonding between molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a special kind of dipole-dipole bond.
