Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Hydrogen Bond**: A hydrogen bond is a weak force of interaction that occurs between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom. The electronegative atoms that typically participate in hydrogen bonding include nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and fluorine (F). 2. **Types of Hydrogen Bonds**: Hydrogen bonds can be classified into two types: - **Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds**: These occur between different molecules. ...
