Hydrogen bonding
Is a Hydrogen bond considered a coordinate covalent bond, or a distinct other type of bonding that occurs?

Re: Hydrogen bonding
hydrogen bond is using attractions of varying levels of electronegativity to make bonds, so it is different from a coordinate covalent bond.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Yeah, it wouldn't be considered coordinate covalent, I think it is its own special type of bonding!

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is a form of intermolecular forces, so it's the attraction between molecules. More specifically, it's a special type of dipole-dipole interaction. Coordinate Covalent bonds forms new molecules by sharing electrons, where only one atom provides the electrons being shared. Even though hydrogen bonding is relatively strong, it is still weaker than covalent bond since the different molecules don't share electrons, their partial charges are just attracted to each other.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is between molecules, whereas covalent bonding is between atoms.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is its own type of intermolecular force, usually between hydrogen and a very electronegative atom (for example: oxygen, flourine, or nitrogen). It's actually the strongest intermolecular force !

Re: Hydrogen bonding
I think a hydrogen bond is its own type of bonding and is not a coordinate covalent bond.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
I believe Dr. Lavelle addressed this during his office hours, but yes hydrogen bonding is its own thing!

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonds are not covalent since they are intermolecular forces and not intramolecular.
Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is a intermolecular force unlike coordinate covalent bonds which are intramolecular.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force and dipole-dipole interaction, but is not a coordinate covalent bond.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
I think hydrogen bonding is considered distinct because it is an intermolecular force rather than an intramolecular force. I believe that within the molecule, however, there can be covalent character.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is not a intermolecular force, it is an intramolecular force which means it happens between molecules.

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Coordinate covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds differ because hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces, while coordinate covalent bonds are intramolecular forces

Re: Hydrogen bonding
I am confused because in lecture, Dr. Lavelle said that HCl in H2O would mean that the H and the O in two separate compounds would interact with each other as a coordinate covalent bond, when I thought that this would be considered hydrogen bonding. Does anyone have an explanation as to why this is coordinate covalent?

Re: Hydrogen bonding
Since hydrogen bonding occurs through an intramolecular force, it would be considered a type of dipole-dipole interaction as opposed to a coordinate covalent bond.
