Question

In weak chemical bonds, an example of it is Hydrogen bonds. What does it mean when they say, "The H atom forms one covalent bond and a second weaker bond"?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Hydrogen bond: hydrogen bond is an attraction between two atoms that already participate in other chemical bonds. One of the atoms is hydrogen, while the other may be any electronegative atom, such as oxygen, chlorine, or fluorine.

Hydrogen bonds may form between atoms within a molecule or between two separate molecules.

A hydrogen bond is weaker than an ionic bond or a covalent bond, but stronger than van der Waals forces.
