What causes an atom to form a hydrogen bond?
A hydrogen bond is a weak bond formed between two molecules or atoms. It is caused by an atom of hydrogen being attracted to spare electron pairs on a neighbouring atom.
Is it true that hydrogen bond is a weak chemical attraction between polar molecules?
No
What is the type of bond that forms the water molecule?
The weak bond that exists between water molecules is called a hydrogen bond. In a water molecule, H2O, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom. Because the oxygen atom is so much larger than the hydrogen atoms, it is more electronegative and holds the electrons more tightly. Because of this, the oxygen atom develops a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms develop a slightly positive charge. This causes the water molecule to be polar, like a bar magnet. Weak attractions (hydrogen bonds) form between adjacent water molecules, so that the slightly negative oxygen atom forms a weak bond with a slightly positive hydrogen atom.
Is a hydrogen bond the strongest that formed between molecules?
Actually it is a weak bond like the attraction between water molecules.
What is the difference between an ionic bond a covalent bond and a hydrogen bond?
The ionic bond bond is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.The covalent bond is based on electrons sharing between two atoms.The hydrogen bond exist between two polar groups and is a weak bond.
Is a hydrogen bond a weak bond that is formed when a hydrogen atom covaleny bonds to one electronegative atom?
Yes it is a weak bond because the force of attraction is weak.
Is Covalent bond is a strong bond or weak bond?
Covalent bond is a strong chemical bond. Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds.
Why is the hydrogen bond weak?
week weak rhum fool
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.
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 holdes nitrogen bases together?
A weak hydrogen bond, adenine and thymine have a double hydrogen bond cytosine and guanine have a triple hydrogen bond
Does the attraction of opposite charges between hydrogen and oxygen forms a weak bond?
no, this is false it forms a hydrogen bond.
Is a hydrogen bond stronger that an ionic bond?
No, hydrogen bonds are weak in comparison to both ionic and covalent bonds.
Is the hydrogen bonding in hydrogen bromide strong or weak?
It's a strong bond.
Are bonds fast?
This depends on the type of bond: ionic bond is strong, hydrogen bond is weak.
What is a very weak type of bond?
It's a bond that is relatively easily broken, compared to other bonds.
What is the hydogen bond?
A hydrogen bond is a type of chemical bond. A hydrogen atom bonds with either a nitrogen, fluorine, or oxygen atom to make a weak bond.
