Van der Waals bonds occur in many molecules, but hydrogen bonds occur only with materials that contain hydrogen. Why is this type of bond unique to hydrogen?
Why hydrogen bonds occur only with materials that contain hydrogen.
Answer to Problem 42.1DQ
The hydrogen bonds occur only with materials that contain hydrogen because only hydrogen has a singly ionized state with no remaining electron cloud.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is an attraction between hydrogen bound to a more electronegative atom and another adjacent atom having a lone pair of electrons. It is stronger than van der Waals bond while weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.
In hydrogen bond, a proton gets between two atoms, polarizing them and attracting them by means of the induced dipoles. Hydrogen bond is unique to hydrogen containing compounds because only hydrogen has a singly ionized state with no remaining electron cloud. The hydrogen ion is a bare proton, much smaller than any other singly ionized atom.
Conclusion:
Thus the hydrogen bonds occur only with materials that contain hydrogen because only hydrogen has a singly ionized state with no remaining electron cloud.

- In this problem you will model the mixing energy of a mixture in a relatively simple way, in order to relate the existence of a solubility gap to molecular behavior. Consider a mixture of A and B molecules that is ideal in every way but one: The potential energy due to the interaction of neighboring molecules depends upon whether the molecules are like or unlike. Let n be the average number of nearest neighbors of any given molecule (perhaps 6 or 8 or 10). Let Uo be the average potential energy associated with the interaction between neighboring molecules that are the same (A-A or B-B), and let UAB be the potential energy associated with the interaction of a neighboring unlike pair (A-B). There are no interactions beyond the range of the nearest neighbors; the values of Uo and UAB are independent of the amounts of A and B; and the entropy of mixing is the same as for an ideal solution.
