What is hydrogen bonding?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a hydrogen atom (H) is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine (F) or oxygen (O) or nitrogen (N), the bond is polarized in such a way that the hydrogen atom is able to form a weak bond between the hydrogen atom of a molecule and the electronegative atom of a second molecule. The bond thus formed is a hydrogen bond and it is denoted by dotted lines (.....).
