Hydrogen bond is a bond between a highly electronegative atom and a hydrogen co-valently bonded to a distinctive electronegative atom.but bromine is not an electronegative atom so hydrogen bond does not form in HBr

Originally Answered: Why Cl,Br and I do not form hydrogen bond? For a hydrogen bond to form, there must be a good overlap of the orbital on the hydrogen with the orbital to which it is bonding. Cl, Br, and I are all so big that they form very poor bonds to hydrogen that is why HCl, HBr and HI are strong acids.
