Hydrogen Bonding sites

[April Pazos 3D]

How can you tell how many hydrogen bonding sites there are?

[Jordan Young 2J]

Each lone pair on an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine is a potential hydrogen bonding site and each hydrogen that is attached to an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine is a potential hydrogen bonding site. For example, water has 4 hydrogen bonding sites (2 lone pairs on oxygen and 2 hydrogens attached to the oxygen).

Each lone pair on an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine is a potential hydrogen bonding site. Also, a hydrogen that is attached to an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine is also a potential hydrogen bonding site.

In organic molecules where they don't show the carbon atoms or lone pairs, do we assume that there are lone pairs around Oxygens or hydrogens...?

You would assume that each atom has however many lone pairs it would need for a complete octet

[chrischyu4a]

Each hydrogen that is attached to either N, O, or F counts as a potential binding site and every lone pair on a N, O, or F atom

[Annika Zhang 1F]

as long as one molecule has O,N,or F it is a potential bonding site as long as there is a Hydrogen on the other molecule

How can you tell how many hydrogen bonding sites there are?

hydrogen bonding sites occur at lone pairs and at hydrogens that are bonded to O N or F (forming a polar hydrogen bond)

[Martina]

Any hydrogen attached to a F, O , or N , and any lone pairs on those atoms can make hydrogen bonds.

[Neha Jonnalagadda 2D]

Hydrogen bonding sites are determined by the number of lone pairs on the N, O, or F atoms. Each lone pair is a potential bonding site.

[Martha Avila 1I]

Hello! You can tell how many hydrogen bonding sites there are by looking for both acceptors and donors. An acceptor is either a F, O, or N atom with a lone pair. A donor is a F,O, or N atom bonded to a Hydrogen atom. When you are given a compound if you can identify all the donor and acceptor sites then you can figure out how many total bonding sites you have. Hope this helps.

N,O, or F has to be covalently bound to a hydrogen and have a lone pair for a hydrogen bond to form
