Peptide bond is a covalent bond.

Covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds.

Think of electrons as the glue of a molecule. A covalent bond has electron interaction uniformity(They're glue is pretty consistent between two atoms). Now hydrogen bonds don't have as much glue; think of it as a few smeared drops of glue. So why do they have not as much glue(a weaker interaction than peptide bonds)? That's because Hydrogen bonds have hydrogens bonded to an electronegative atom(that means they like electrons). An example of an electronegative atom would be oxygen. Oxygen(or any given electronegative atom) will briefly take hydrogen's only electron when they pair up. So hydrogen's electron spends more time around the oxygen because it takes longer to circle around oxygen due to it being bigger than hydrogen. We know electrons have negative charge, so what happens when hydrogen's electron is over near the oxygen? Hydrogen gets a partial positive charge, and oxygen gets a partial negative charge!

What are the intermolecular forces for H2Se?

The intermolecular forces for H2Se are London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest among these forces due to the presence of hydrogen attached to a highly electronegative atom, such as selenium.


What type of bonding HF is?

HF has a polar covalent bond. The electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine causes the electrons to be unequally shared, leading to a polar bond where fluorine is partially negative and hydrogen is partially positive.


Is acetic acid polar or or non-polar bonds?

Acetone has the formula (CH3)2CO. The bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms are covalent, and are sigma bonds. The bonding beween carbon and oxygen is a double bond. The carbon atom is sp2 hybridised. The bond involves a sigma bond and a pi bond This bond is polar because of the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen.


How is the S-H bond categorized?

The S-H bond is categorized as a polar covalent bond due to the electronegativity difference between sulfur and hydrogen. Sulfur is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the shared electrons to be closer to sulfur, resulting in a partial negative charge on sulfur and a partial positive charge on hydrogen.


In a single molecule of water two hydrogen atoms are bonded to a single oxygen by what type of bond A. Polar covalent. B. Nonpolar covalent. C.?

The bonding in water is by two polar covalent bonds, one for each hydrogen atom.

Which bond is not a pure chemical bond?

Hydrogen bonding is really not bonding, but only a polar interaction. H2 [diatomic hydrogen] is an elemental bond in which gas atoms can cohabit.


What is the strongest IMF for HI?

Hydrogen Bonding (H-Bonding). Group 7 elements are extremely electro-negative. The hydrogen completes the octet with an H-Bond, one of the strongest Inter Molecular Forces.

Does a hydrogen bond have a weak chemical attration between polar molecules?

No. Hydrogen bonding is a form of strong intermolecular attraction


What is the strongest intermolecular force in H2O?

I would imagine Hydrogen Bond. It is hydrogen bond because hydrogen fluoride and water have a large dipole. The electronegative atom attracts electrons away from the hydrogen atom leaving the hydrogen atom almost unshielded proton with a partial positive charge.


What is h bonding?

It can either be a polar oovalent bond as in ammonia or could refer to an intermolecular hydrogen bond (between molecules of ammonia.

Why non polar bonds do not like water?

Actually, water, by hydrogen bonding with itself and not the nonpolar substances excludes the nonpolar substances from hydrogen bonding and turns them into associations with each other. Natural water can hydrogen bond with many polar and charged substances.
