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.


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)


How is a hydrogen bond created?

A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine, that comes from another molecule or chemical group. It is not a true chemical bond. The hydrogen atom has an attraction to another electronegative atom. These attractions can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly)


Is a hydrogen bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?

A hydrogen bond is weaker than a covalent bond.


Is C H ionic or covalent bond?

No. A hydrogen bond occurs when H is bonded to a strongly electronegative element like oxygen in a compound. The oxygen attracts the electrons in the bond stronger than the hydrogen setting up partial positive and partial negative charges in the H and O respectively in a single molecule. A nearby molecule with the same charges will be attracted (opposites attract, even with these partial charges.) This attraction from one molecule to another is a hydrogen bond because it involves the hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge.

The attraction of water particles to each other?

Strong hydrogen bonds as the Oxygen is really electronegative and the hydrogen is really unelectronegative. The hydrogen bonds to the oxygen of another molecule.

What is the difference between hydrogen bounding and covalent bonding?

Covalent bonding is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons. Hydrogen bonding is a form of strong intermolecular attraction between molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element such as nitrogen, oxygen, or flourine. In these molecules the hydrogen atom(s) gain a partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gains a partial negative charge. The positive end of one molecule attracts the negative end of another and vice versa.

What type of bonds hold together the base in DNA molecule?

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. This type of bond occurs in both inorganic molecules such as water and organic molecules such as DNA.


Explain why water contains strong hydrogen bonds and h2s does not?

The hydrogen bond involves hydrogen in a covalent bond with a highly electronegative element, like oxygen in water. Pure hydrogen H2 involves 2 atoms with exactly the same electronegativity. In water the large difference in electronegativity means that the bond is polar covalent. In addition to that, the hydrogen is not quite, but nearly a point nucleus because there are no other electrons in hydrogen than those shared. This causes a very strong attraction --- not a real bond -- between the hydrogen and the highly negative oxygen in an adjacent molecule. This is the real hydrogen bond, the attraction of the hydrogen for an element in another molecule. Real bonds are within one molecule.


What is the attraction between two hydrogen atom in one water molecule and the oxygen molecule in another is an example of a what kind of bond?

These are covalent bonds.
