Which one shows maximum hydrogen bonding?

Question

Which one shows maximum hydrogen bonding? (A) H2O (B) H2Se (C) H2S (D) HF

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonding oc electronegativity propto (1/ text Size of atom to which H is covalently bonded) Since, F is most electronegative and has smaller size, HF shows maximum strength of hydrogen bond.

Q. Which one shows maximum hydrogen bonding?

$H_{2} O$

$H_{2} S e$

$H_{2} S$

$H F$

Hydrogen bonding oc electronegativity
$\propto \frac{1}{Size of atom to which H is covalently bonded}$
Since, $F$ is most electronegative and has smaller size,
$H F$ shows maximum strength of hydrogen bond.

Q. Which one shows maximum hydrogen bonding?

H2​O

H2​Se

H2​S

HF

Hydrogen bonding oc electronegativity ∝ Size of atom to which H is covalently bonded1​ Since, F is most electronegative and has smaller size, HF shows maximum strength of hydrogen bond.
