Hydrogen bonding

[SophiaBarden 2E]

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

[Lisa Wang 3B]

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

[Sonel Raj 3I]

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

[Gillian Gabrielsen2F]

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.

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

[Kaitlyn Hernandez 3I]

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 !

[SamanthaTolentino 3D]

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

[Daniela_Martinez_3B]

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

[AndrewNguyen_2H]

Hydrogen bonds are not covalent since they are intermolecular forces and not intramolecular.

[Jerry_T]

Hydrogen bonding is a intermolecular force unlike coordinate covalent bonds which are intramolecular.

[Susan Chamling 1F]

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

[simona_krasnegor_1C]

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.

[Brian_Wu_3B]

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

[Sydney Jensen 3L]

Coordinate covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds differ because hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces, while coordinate covalent bonds are intramolecular forces

[Jaden Haskins 2E]

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?

[Moura Girgis 1F]

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.
