Best Answer

A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine, that comes from another molecule or chemical group. It is not a true chemical bond. The hydrogen atom has an attraction to another electronegative atom. These attractions can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly)

Does CCl2F2 have hydrogen bond?

CCl2F2 can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor at the fluorine atoms, by not as a hydrogen bond donor, as it does not have any hydrogen atoms.

Hydrogen bond or coordinate bond - which is weakest?

Coordinate bond is a true primary bond while hydrogen bond is secondary bond (only attraction between opposite poles) so hydrogen bond is weaker.
