Which of the following has the strongest H-bond?

  1. A \(0-H-S\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}\)
  3. C \(F-H\). F
  4. D \(F-H-O\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(F-H\). F

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The strongest H-bond is \(\mathrm{F}-\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{F}\) because in this case, a hydrogen is bonded to a most. electronegative atom i.e. fluorine. In all other options, hydrogen is bonded to oxygen and sulphur that are less electronegative atom than fluorine. The correct…
