Question 12 • Chemistry

Which statement about hydrogen bonds is true?

Answer
A
They are the only force that allows a gecko to climb up glass.
B
They help water striders walk on water by creating surface tension.
C
They are the weakest of the intermolecular forces.
D
They are much stronger than intramolecular forces.

Explanation

Hydrogen bonds form attractions between water molecules, creating strong cohesion at the surface. This surface tension helps water striders stay on top of the water. Hydrogen bonds are not the only force involved in a gecko’s grip, are stronger than some but not all intermolecular forces, and are much weaker than the covalent bonds within molecules.
