Q. The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in $ HF $

EAMCETEAMCET 2014

Solution:

Hydrogen bond is simply dipole-dipole attraction within oppositely partially charged ends. In $HF$ molecule, electronegativity difference is remarkable, due to which it behaves as a dipole. In the gaseous state several $HF$ molecules polymerises through $H$-bonding.
