which one of the following does not form hydrogen bonding
a. NH3
b. H20
c. HCL
d. HF
Answers
Answer:
HCl does not form hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) does not form hydrogen bonding.
This is because in hydrogen bonding the bonding is formed between hydrogen and elements Nitrogen, Oxygen and Flourine.
In Hydrochloric acid (HCl) there are no elements like Nitrogen, Oxygen and Flourine so it cannot form hydrogen bonding.
Answer:
The correct answer is c. HCL
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is formed by the electrostatic interaction between hydrogen atom and a larger and more electronegative atom. So it is a covalent bond between two polar molecules formed by attraction between positive charge of hydrogen and negative charge of other electronegative atoms.
Hydrogen mainly forms a strong hydrogen bond between N, O, and F but not with Cl because the atomic radius of chlorine is very large so the electron density of chlorine is spread in a wide area therefore the electron density becomes low in chlorine which weakens the dipole-dipole interaction. So chlorine does not form hydrogen bonding.
