Question

N and Cl have the same electronegativity (3.0) but only N-H bond participates in H-bonding while hydrogen bonding by Cl-H bond is negligible why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nitrogen is more electronegative than chlorine

Explanation:

First of all electronegativity(value) of nitrogen is considered = 3.04

while that of chlorine = 3.16

yet nitrogen is considered among the most electronegative elements (OTHER -F and O)

so only F O AND N PARTICIPATES IN H BOND
