  1. A \(\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{H} \ldots \mathrm{O} \quad\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H} \cdots \mathrm{S}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{F}-\mathrm{H} \ldots \mathrm{F} \quad\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H} \ldots-\mathrm{N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{F}-\mathrm{H} \ldots \mathrm{F} \quad\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hydrogen bond is strongest in \(\mathrm{F}-\mathrm{H} \ldots \mathrm{F}\), as the electronegativity of fluorine is highest.
