The term hydrogen bonding refers to a weak interaction between two molecules that contain an H atom bonded to a very electronegative atom, such O, N, and F. Hydrogen bonding does not occur within molecules, but rather between to molecules.
Of course, the atoms of hydrogen can also form regular covalent or ionic bonds with other atoms to form molecules, and so these are in some sense hydrogen bonds, but that's not usually what people mean when they say the term "hydrogen bond."
See the Web Links for more information about hydrogen bonding.
Yes
I disagree hydrogen bonds are the weakest form of bonds. H2O is covalently bonded h-o-h but hydrogen bonded to each other h-o-h - - - h-o-h and the amout of energy needed to separate moloecules of water from each other is alot less than separating the hydrogen from the oxygen molecules

Hydrogen bonds are the strongest form of intermolecular forces. Hydrogen bonds are not actual bonds; they are a special form of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom of one polar molecule (with nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) and an electronegative oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom.
So, yes, hydrogen bonds are strong but are weaker than actual bonds, because hydrogen bonds are not bonds.
Hydrogen bonds are classified as weak bonds because they are easily and rapidly formed and and broken under normal biological conditions.
(Weak bonds are those forces of attraction that, in biological situations, do not take a large amount of energy to break)
Hydrogen bonds are not weak bonds, in fact, they're the strongest. This is because the p orbitals overlap which makes the electrons delocalised. This means that the molecule is more stable and is less likely to break apart to react with anything else.
Someone was on here before me and said "No, it isn't a weak bond"... That is incorrect. THE HYDROGEN BOND IS THE WEAKEST BOND! but its very important. it can affect the shapes and properties of molecules.
Hydrogen bonds are actually weaker than some other bonds because all you need is heat in order to break them where on the other hand, the covalent bond is incredibly hard to break.
no
Hydrogen bonds are not the weakest bonds.
There are a few types of hydrogen bonds. Fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen are the elements that typically form bonds with hydrogen.
hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces- weaker than covalent bonds that hold the molecules together. The diagram probaly shows molecules with otted lines from H atoms to an O or N aatom on an adjacent molecule.
Hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bond acceptor atoms such as Oxygen. Covalent bonds with nearly anything.
Strong hydrogen bonds.
it forms strong bonds with itself and with hydrogen
Hydrogen bonds are not the weakest bonds.
the bond is strong
No they are significantly weaker.
There are a few types of hydrogen bonds. Fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen are the elements that typically form bonds with hydrogen.
stong bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds and weak bonds are van der waals bonds and hydrogen bonds.
Covalent bond is a strong chemical bond. Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds.
Strong hydrogen bonds as the Oxygen is really electronegative and the hydrogen is really unelectronegative. The hydrogen bonds to the oxygen of another molecule.
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
An H-bond, or known as hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are attractive bonds, very strong but easy to break. Think of it as someone who has a girlfriend(a strong bond, connected) but is attracted to other girls. A hydrogen bond is not as strong as a covalent or ionic bond(a strong bond).
Biologically, hydrogen bonds are considered to be strong intermolecular forces.
