Fluorine, Nitrogen and Oxygen because they are highly electronegative and very small. Hope that helps - it is the correct answer to my chemistry homework on WileyPLUS to this exact same question.

Nonmetals form covalent bonds when bonding with one another.


What is the effect of hydrogen bonding on vibrational frequencies in case of IR spectroscopy?

Hydrogen bonding typically results in a decrease in the vibrational frequencies of the involved bonds in IR spectroscopy. This is because hydrogen bonding leads to a stronger bond, which requires more energy to vibrate. As a result, the stretching or bending frequencies of the bonds involved in hydrogen bonding are shifted to lower values in the IR spectrum compared to the same bonds without hydrogen bonding.


What is the weakest type of bond and is involved in the bonding of water?

The weakest type of bond is a hydrogen bond, which is involved in the bonding of water molecules. Hydrogen bonds form between the partially positive hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the partially negative oxygen atom of another water molecule.


What class of elements tends to be involve in covalent bonding?

Nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds when reacting with one another. In covalent bonding, the atoms share valence electrons so that each atom will have a noble gas configuration of electrons, called an octet (8 electrons), except for hydrogen, which bonds to obtain the noble gas configuration of helium, which has 2 valence electrons.


Is H2Se an ionic bond?

No, as hydrogen-and selenium are both nonmetals the bonds are covalent.


What Chemical reactions occur between nonmetals and nonmetals?

Nonmetals typically react with each other through covalent bonding to share electrons. These reactions involve the transfer of electrons leading to the formation of molecules such as hydrogen gas (H2), water (H2O), and ammonia (NH3). The reaction between nonmetals does not involve the transfer of electrons like in ionic bonding between metals and nonmetals.


What type of bonding does H2S has?

The sulfate radical has covalent bonding. Since sulfur and oxygen are both nonmetals, they have to form a covalent bond. Only the combination of a metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond.


What kinds of substance besides water can be involved in hydrogen bonding?

Hydrogen bonding can also occur in compounds that contain fluorine, nitrogen, or oxygen atoms. This includes compounds such as alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids. These molecules have hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms that can attract electron density, resulting in hydrogen bonding interactions.


What kinds of subatances besides water can be involved in hydrogen bonding?

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.
