Which statement about hydrogen bonding is true? A)Hydrogen bonding is the intermolecular attractive forces between two hydrogen atoms in solution. B)The hydrogen bonding capabilities of water molecules cause CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃ to be more soluble in water than CH₃OH. C)Hydrogen bonding of solvent molecules with a solute will not affect the solubility of the solute. D)Hydrogen bonding interactions between molecules are stronger than the covalent bonds within the molecule. E)Hydrogen bonding arises from the dipole moment created by the unequal sharing of electrons within certain covalent bonds within a molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonding arises due to the dipole-dipole attraction between a hydrogen atom, which is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine), and another electronegative atom in a different molecule or within the same molecule if the geometry allows. This interaction is due to the dipole moment created by the unequal sharing of electrons in the covalent bond between hydrogen and the electronegative atom, making option E correct.
