The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in \(\mathrm{HF}\)

  1. A ion-induced dipole
  2. B dipole-dipole
  3. C dipole-induced dipole
  4. D ion-dipole
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) dipole-dipole

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hydrogen bond is simply dipole-dipole attraction within oppositely partially charged ends. In HF molecule, electronegativity difference is remarkable, due to which it behaves as a dipole. In the gaseous state several HF molecules polymerises through \(\mathrm{H}\)-bonding.
