Question 3 • Chemistry

Are hydrogen bonds formed between all molecules?

Answer
A
Yes because hydrogen can form these bonds with weakly electronegative atoms.
B
No because hydrogen can only form these bonds with oxygen atoms.
C
No because hydrogen can only form these bonds with highly electronegative atoms.
D
Yes because hydrogen can easily form bonds with atoms that have a neutral charge.

Explanation

No, hydrogen bonds do not form between all molecules. They generally occur when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, and is attracted to another such atom. So choice C is correct; choice B is too restrictive because oxygen is not the only atom involved.
