Answer:
Conditions for hydrogen bonding:-)
In the formation of hydrogen bond, the following conditions must be fulfilled:-
1)) The molecule must contain a highly electronegative atom linked to the hydrogen atom. The higher the electronegativity, more is the polarisation of the molecule.
2))The size of the electronegative atom should be small. The smaller the size, the greater is the electrostatic attraction.
∆ Thus, only F, O and N atoms can form hydrogen bonds, as these atoms are small in size and have high electronegativities.
∆ Chlorine having the same electronegativity as that of Nitrogen does not form hydrogen bond due to its larger size.
