Identify the correct sequence with respect to the strength of hydrogen bonding among the following.

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{HF}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{HF}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{HF}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{HF}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{HF}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Strength of hydrogen bonding depends on the electronegativity of atom. In \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\), number of donor atoms for hydrogen bonding is more as compared to \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\). \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) has more donor atoms than \(\mathrm{HF}\) for…
