Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hydrogen Bonding**: - Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), or fluorine (F). These atoms have a strong tendency to attract electrons, creating a polar bond. 2. **General Rule**: - In general, chlorine (Cl) is not considered a highly electronegative atom in the context of hydrogen bonding. Therefore, it does not typically form hydrogen bonds. ...
