Hydrogen bond
Hydrogen bond definition of hydrogen bond: the attractive electrostatic force between a hydrogen atom which is already covalently attached with a strongly electronegative atom of a molecule and another electronegative atom of some other molecule is known as hydrogen bond. Properties of hydrogen bond a hydrogen bond is a bond of hydrogen between two electronegative atoms only. bond energy of a hydrogen bond is in the range of 3 to 10 kilo calorie per mole. the formation of a hydrogen bond does not involved in sharing of electron pairs only oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine are capable of forming hydrogen bond. like a covalent bond hydrogen bond has a preferred bonding direction. Significance of hydrogen bonding physical state of water: without hydrogen bonding, water would have existed as a gas .structure of compounds: hydrogen bond is is directional and on this account it helps in studying and establishing the structure of many compounds like ice, solids acid etc ....
