Chapter 4, Problem 4.82E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula of the molecule that is formed by the covalent bonding of three atoms with an electronic configuration of $1s^1$ with an atom having electronic configuration of $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^3$ is to be stated. A drawing that shows the hydrogen bonding between the given two molecules is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The forces which initiates the interaction between the atoms of a molecule is known as the intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces are of two types; forces of attraction and forces of repulsion. The name of the intermolecular forces are, ion-dipole forces of attraction, vanderwaal’s forces, hydrogen bonding, dispersion forces and others.

The partial electrostatic forces of attraction that exists between hydrogen atom and any bonded electronegative atom like oxygen atom is known as hydrogen bonding.
