Types of Hydrogen Bonding
There are two types of H bonds, which are labeled as follows:
Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen bonds are formed between molecules of the same or distinct substances. Hydrogen bonding in water, alcohol, and ammonia, for example.
Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding refers to hydrogen bonding that occurs within a single molecule. It occurs in compounds with two groups, one of which has a hydrogen atom linked to an electronegative atom and the other of which has a highly electronegative atom linked to a less electronegative atom of the other group. The link is created between the more electronegative atoms of one group and the hydrogen atoms of the other group.
Hydrogen Bonding
In chemistry, a hydrogen bond is an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom and another electronegative atom. It is a special type of dipole-dipole force. Hydrogen bonding is the phenomenon of the formation of Hydrogen Bonds.
H Bonds are stronger than any dipole-dipole bonds but weaker than covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonds can form between atoms within a molecule or between two different molecules.
Hydrogen bonds can form when:
- A hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a more electronegative atom
- The other atom has a lone pair of electrons
Examples of hydrogen bonds Water, Ammonia, and Hydrogen Fluoride.
