Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for HF (hydrogen fluoride), NH3(ammonia), and H2O (water) to be able toform hydrogen bondswhile methane fails to do so, although all these elements are present in the second row of the periodic table and are sp3hybridized.

Introduction:

A hydrogen bond is formed when an H-atom(hydrogen atom) binds with a highlyelectronegative ato, mr there is a lone pair of electronspresent in thevicinity. Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent and ionic bonds, but stronger than dipole–dipole interactions.
