In which of the following substances will hydrogen bonds be strongest?
- A \(\mathrm{HCl}\)
- B \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
- C \(\mathrm{HI}\)
- D \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ease of H-bonds formation, i.e., strength of hydrogen bonding given by electronegative elements follow the order. \(\mathrm{F} > \mathrm{O} > \mathrm{N} > \mathrm{Cl}\) So, \(\mathrm{HI}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2\) S cannot make \(\mathrm{H}\)-bonds. In \(\mathrm{HCl}\),…
