Hydrogen by itself is used sparingly in our 'society'. It was used during world war I to fly zeppelins. It also finds its use in nickel/Hydrogen batteries, which are the most powerful batteries known to man used on space exploration and the hubble space telescope. It also, of course, is required to form water (H2O)

Which type of intermolecular force is the most important in acetic acid?

In acetic acid, the most important intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding. This is because acetic acid molecules contain a hydrogen bonded to an electronegative oxygen atom, creating strong hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules.


How is Hydrogen bond important to the body?

Hydrogen bonds are important in the body because they help stabilize the structure of proteins and DNA, contributing to their function. In DNA, hydrogen bonds hold the complementary base pairs together, enabling the genetic code to be accurately replicated and decoded. Additionally, hydrogen bonding between water molecules contributes to the unique properties of water that are essential for various biological processes within the body.


Write the letter of each sentence that is true about hydrogen bonds?

A) Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. B) Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom. C) Hydrogen bonds are important in maintaining the structure of proteins and DNA. D) Hydrogen bonds are only found in water molecules. Correct sentences: A) Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. B) Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom. C) Hydrogen bonds are important in maintaining the structure of proteins and DNA.


Why HCL do not form hydrogen bonds?

FONRemember this contraction. Florine, oxygen and nitrogenare the only elements in conjunction with hydrogen that can form hydrogen bonding. The electronegativity variance is important here and chlorine does not vary enough from hydrogen to form hydrogen bonding


Is hydrogen brittle?

Yes, hydrogen is considered a brittle material. This means it does not exhibit plastic deformation and instead tends to fracture when subjected to stress. This property is particularly important when considering its use in engineering applications.
