Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given statements are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The bonds that are weaker havea greater tendency to dissociate or ionize.
The electrostatic forces of attraction between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom are termed as hydrogen bonding. It provides stability to the compound.
The bond strength of double and triple bonds is more than that of single covalent bonds as there is more sharing of electrons.
Bases are the species that accept hydrogen ions (proton).
Nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus.
The hydrogen bond involves interaction between partial positive-charged hydrogen atoms and more electronegative atoms.
The electronegative atoms could be nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and adjacent atoms that contain a lone pair of electrons.
