Hydrogen Bonding

Postby Emily Vainberg 1D » Sat Nov 16, 2019 12:53 pm

Is hydrogen bonding just a strong type of a dipole-dipole interaction?

Yes, hydrogen bonding is a special case of dipole dipole interaction in which the atoms involved are especially electronegative, like nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole in which one of the atoms is hydrogen, is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom, such as oxygen, chlorine, or fluorine.

Yep! Like others have said, it is a special and specific kind of dipole-dipole intermolecular force; it's good to know that hydrogen bonding is the strongest form of dipole-dipole interaction!

Yes, a hydrogen bond is a strong dipole-dipole interaction between a slightly positive hydrogen on one molecule and a slightly negative O, N, or F on another molecule.
