Question

The correct order of strength of H-bond in the following compounds is (A) H2O>H2O2>HF>H2S (B) HF>H2O2>H2O>H2S (C) HF>H2O>H2S>H2O2 (D) HF>H2O>H2O2>H2S

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The correct order of strength of H-bond is

H F > H_{2} O_{2} > H_{2} O > H_{2} S

Strength of H-bonding is higher in

H_{2} O_{2}

than

H_{2} O

, because the amount formal negative charge on oxygen atom in case of water is more than that of

H_{2} O_{2}

.
