Question

Which statements about hydrogen bonds are correct?

1) Hydrogen bonds are the interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative element and the lone pair of electrons on a nearby electronegative atom.
2) The atom to which the hydrogen atom is covalently bonded is the hydrogen-bond donor.
3) The distance between the covalently bound H atom and its hydrogen-bonding donor is the sum of its van der Waals radii.
4) Hydrogen bonds can be stronger interactions than even charge-charge interactions.

Explanation / Answer

1) Hydrogen bonds are the interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative element and the lone pair of electrons on a nearby electronegative atom.
2) The atom to which the hydrogen atom is covalently bonded is the hydrogen-bond donor.
