Are Hydrogen bonds are ionic bonds?

Answer 1

Hydrogen forms some ionic and some covalent bonds - depending on its partner

EN for H is 2.2

En increase across the rows in the Periodic Table

Ionic bonds form between compounds with large differences in EN

Colalent bonds form between molecules with similar ENs

so (As a general rule of thumb) going across the periodic table it will first form ionic bonds then covalent molecular

Answer 2

From the Wikipedia article: Hydrogen Bond, "A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine, that comes from another molecule or chemical group. The hydrogen must be covalently bonded to another electronegative atom to create the bond. These bonds can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly)."

A hydrogen bond is never ionic, as it does not involve the transfer of electrons neither is it covalent, as it does not involve the sharing of electrons.

Answer 3

No, the bond between hydrogen and oxygen is polar covalent due to the electronegativity difference

Answer 4

No. It contains two different types of bonds, neither is ionic.

Answer 5

No, hydrogen bonds are still weaker than ionic bonds. They are technically a type of intermolecular force rather than and actual bond.

Answer 6

No, It is a covalent bond

Answer 7

its a ionic bond
