Hydrogen bonding is said to be formed, -when sightly acidic hydrogen-atom attached to a strongly, electronegative fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom. is held with weak. electrostatic forces by the non-bonded pair of electrons of another atom. The co-ordination number of hydrogen in such cases is two. It acts as a bridge between two atoms, to one of which it is covalently bonded and to other attached through electrostatic forces, also called hydrogen bond. Though the hydrogen atoms in a methyl group are not polarised, if an electronegative group like chloro, carbonyl, nitro or cyano (in order to increase electronegativity) is attached to it, the C-H bond gets polarised due to the inductive effect and the hydrogen atom becomes slightly acidic resulting in the formation of weak hydrogen bonds. Though a weak bond the H-bond effects is large number of the physical properties of compounds some of which are - Boiling points of liquids - Solubility of polar compounds in polar solvents (containig H attached with strong electronegative atom) - Viscosity of liquids .
