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.

∙ 13y agoNo, like most other hydrocarbons heptane is nonpolar.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, Heptane is non-polar. It is nonpolar because it lacks a polar group in its composition and cannot form dipoles or have dipole moments.

∙ 13y agoHeptane is soluble in hexane due to their nonpolar properties.

∙ 15y agono because its oil and oil is nonpolar because it can't be dissolved in water

A type of weak chemical bond formed when the partially positive hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted the partially negative atom of a neighboring molecule?
A hydrogen bond.
What kind of bond is a weak attraction between a slightly positive region of one atom and a slightly negative region of another?
A hydrogen bond.
Is a hydrogen and nitrogen a hydrogen bond?
It is not a hydrogen bond if they are in same molecule.But H bond forms between them.
Is a hydrogen bond stonger then a covalent bond?
No. Hydrogen bond is weaker than covalent bond.
Is CO a hydrogen bond?
CO does not contain hydrogen, therefore it is not a hydrogen bond.
Does Heptane have hydrogen bonds?

What type of bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of a DNA molecule?
A hydrogen bond--two between A and T and three between G and C.
Can a ketone hydrogen bond with water?
yes, they can accept the hydrogen bond with water (they don't have a hydrogen to hydrogen bond with other ketones however.)
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.
An bond is formed through a weak electrical attraction between a hydrogen atom bound to an electronegativeatom such as oxygen and nitrogen and another electronegative atom?
As long as the hydrogen is attached to Florine, oxygen, or nitrogen the bonding will be a hydrogen bond.
Hydrogen bromide bond?
it is a bond between hydrogen and bromine
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.
