26. Give one example of Inter Molecular Hydrogen Bond and write one of its application.
Answers
Answer:
Intermolecular hydrogen bonds occur between separate molecules in a substance. ... For example, intermolecular hydrogen bonds can occur between NH3 molecules alone, between H2O molecules alone, or between NH3 and H2O molecules.

In particular, intermolecular hydrogen bonding is responsible for the high boiling point of water (100 °C) compared to the other group 16 hydrides that have much weaker hydrogen bonds. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is partly responsible for the secondary and tertiary structures of proteins and nucleic acids.
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is a electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom which is bond to a more electronegative atom such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, fluorine.
These are two types of hydrogen bonds :-
1) Intermolecular Hydrogen bonding :- It occurs between two separate molecules.
Eq :- H−F......H−F......H−F
↕
H−bonding (Intermolecular)
2) Intermolecular Hydrogen bonding :- It occurs among the different facts of same molecule.
