How is a hydrogen bond different from a covalent bond?
Hydrogen bonds are electrostatic attractions between a hydrogen atom, bonded to a more electronegative atom of one molecule AND a more electronegative atom of another molecule, but there is no sharing of electrons. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to form molecules.
The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule?
True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
Is it true that in a water molecule the electrons within the molecule are attracted more towards the hydrogen atoms?
Water is a polar molecule where the electrons spend more time in orbitals around the oxygen atom because it is significantly more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. So, false is the answer.
What explain is negative charge on the oxygen atom within the water molecule?
Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and pull electrons away from the electropositive hydrogen atom.
What happens to electrons in a hydrogen bond?
No, electrons are never shared or transferred in a hydrogen bond. A hydrogen bond is just an attraction between partially positive particles and partially negative particles.
Why are hydrogen ions attratected to water molecules?
the hydrogen ions are attracted to the O in the molecule as it is more electronegative
What causes the water molecule to have a negative charge?
The water molecule does not have a negative charge. The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, and tends to hold the shared electrons more tightly than the hydrogen atoms.
Is c5h10 hydrogen bond?
No. In order for hydrogen bonds to form, hydrogen must be bonded to a highly electronegative element such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. In this molecule it is only bonded to carbon, which is not electronegative enough.
The atom with the what attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the what atom.?
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
Do hydrogen bonds always involve hydrogen?
As far as I know: yes! They involve hydrogen bonded to an electronegative element (like oxygen). This Hydrogen in the molecule is then attracted to another electronegative element (like oxygen, nitrogen etc)
What type of bond is formed between a hydrogen on one polar molecule and a very electronegative atom such as oxygen or nitrogen on another polar molecule?
a hydrogen bond
In the covalent bond between hydrogen and chlorine in the HCl molecule where will the majority of shared electrons be found?
They will be found around/near the Cl because Cl is more electronegative than H.
