Hydrogen Bonding

[Wilson 2E]

Is the formation of hydrogen bonds considered an interaction between an acid and base?

[Reagan Smith 1H]

I do not think it is the same thing because hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force, whereas with acids and bases, the molecule is changing and hydrogen is moved to a different molecule.

[Salma Fawzi 4G]

I also think that is a separate process, since hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force.

[Viviana Velasquez]

I think it would just be considered an intermolecular force.

[Ian Morris 3C]

No it is not an acid base reaction.

[DLee_1L]

No, its there is no actual bonding or transfer of electrons, its just that the polar sides are strongly attracted to each other

[Cindy Adiwidjaja 1B]

No, this is a type of intermolecular force. Not an acid and base reaction

[Annie Ye]

hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force between H- N, O, F

[Natalie C 1K]

no, because it is an intermolecular force

[Aarushi Solanki 4F]

No, it is simply an intermolecular force.

[jvera4b]

No, hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force not a type of acid base reaction.

[Jack_Pearce_2H]

Not necessarily. aqueous acids and bases disassociate in water so I would more closely relate it to an ion-ion interaction. Depending on structure, acids and bases may have the capability of hydrogen bonding, but simple interactions would not be.

[Jose Miguel Conste 3H]

No not at all, one is based on a chemical reaction while the other is based on an intermolecular force, do not get both mixed.

[Mehreen 3I]

No, it is a type of intermolecular force.

[vanessanguyen3I]

No, because no electrons are donated/accepted. H bonding is simply an intermolecular force that results between polar molecules! Hope this helps.

[Lauren Sarigumba 1K]

Lewis bases and Lewis acids deal with chemical reactions in which the Lewis base (in the reactant side of a reaction) donates the electrons to the Lewis acid (which is the product side of the reaction). Hydrogen bonding deals with intermolecular attractions in which a Hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, or F) of another molecule. Hydrogen bonding does not deal with chemical reactions

[Heidi Buri 2I]

Hi! The formation of a hydrogen bond can be considered an interaction between a Lewis acid and base. In a hydrogen bond, there is always a donor (H) and acceptor (what is binding to the H atom. For this reason, a formation of a hydrogen bond can be considered an interaction between a Lewis acid and base.
