This question is somewhat ambiguous, because the phrase "hydrogen bond" has a special meaning that is distinct from "chemical bond including a hydrogen atom", another possible meaning of the phrase. A "hydrogen bond" in its specialized meaning is not a chemical bond in the normal sense of a stable association between two particular atoms that causes the atoms to have a smaller internuclear distance than the total of the unbonded atomic radii of the two atoms that are bonded together and that assures that both of the bonded atoms are part of the same kinetic unit as described by kinetic molecular theory. Instead, a "hydrogen bond" in this specialized sense is an attraction between the nucleus of a bonded hydrogen atom and a nucleophilic portion of another atom or molecule than the one to or in which the hydrogen atom in question is bonded. This attraction is weaker than average for a chemical bond but is strong enough, in favorable instances, to affect quite strongly the physical properties of a compound, as illustrated by the fact that water has a much higher boiling point than hydrogen sulfide, because the attractions between bonded oxygen atoms and bonded hydrogen atoms in different molecules of water are much stronger than the corresponding attractions between bonded sulfur atoms and the bonded hydrogen atoms in other hydrogen sulfide molecules.
After -- I hope -- clarifying that distinction, it is possible to answer the question meaningfully: Heptane does not have "hydrogen bonds" in the specialized sense, because heptane molecules do not have strongly nucleophilic portions. However, each heptane molecule contains sixteen chemical bonds between specific hydrogen atoms and specific carbon atoms.
What else can I help you with?
Is heptane ionic or covalent?
covalent. they share electrons as theyre both positively charged
Why does not heptane react with metals?
Heptane, an alkane with the chemical formula C7H16, is a saturated hydrocarbon that lacks functional groups that can readily react with metals. Its stable carbon-hydrogen bonds do not favor interactions with metals under normal conditions. Additionally, the nonpolar nature of heptane makes it less reactive with metals, which typically interact with polar or reactive compounds. Therefore, heptane remains largely inert in the presence of metals.
How many atoms are in heptane?
Heptane has a chemical formula of C7H16. To calculate the number of atoms in heptane, add the number of carbon atoms (7) to the number of hydrogen atoms (16), resulting in a total of 23 atoms in heptane.
Does heptane have a hydrogen bond?

Is C7H16 saturated?
Yes, C7H16 (heptane) is a saturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between carbon atoms and are fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. In C7H16, each carbon atom is bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, confirming its status as a saturated compound.
What chemical groups are hydrogen acceptors for hydrogen bonds?
A hydrogen acceptors for hydrogen bonds is nitrogen.
Can hydrogen fluoride form hydrogen bonds?
Yes, hydrogen fluoride can form hydrogen bonds.
How many bonds could each make with hydrogen?
Carbon can make 4 bonds with hydrogen. Nitrogen can make 3 bonds with hydrogen. Oxygen can make 2 bonds with hydrogen.
Write the letter of each sentence that is true about hydrogen bonds?
A) Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. B) Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom. C) Hydrogen bonds are important in maintaining the structure of proteins and DNA. D) Hydrogen bonds are only found in water molecules. Correct sentences: A) Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. B) Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom. C) Hydrogen bonds are important in maintaining the structure of proteins and DNA.
How are bonds between A-T and G-C different?
Bonds between A-T are hydrogen bonds, which form a two hydrogen bond pair, whereas bonds between G-C are also hydrogen bonds, but they form a three hydrogen bond pair. This difference in bond strength contributes to the stability of the DNA double helix structure.
How many bonds doe silicon have with hydrogen?
Silicon has 4 bonds with hydrogen
Does glucose form hydrogen bonds?
yes it can when it dissolves in water in forms hydrogen bonds in fact its the one that has the most hydrogen bonds
