Is it true that hydrogen bond is a weak chemical attraction between polar molecules?

Yes, it is true. A hydrogen bond is a weak attraction between a hydrogen atom in a polar molecule and an electronegative atom in another polar molecule. The strength of a hydrogen bond is weaker than covalent or ionic bonds.


What causes an atom to form a hydrogen bond?

A hydrogen bond is a weak bond formed between two molecules or atoms. It is caused by an atom of hydrogen being attracted to spare electron pairs on a neighbouring atom.


Is a hydrogen bond stronger than a triple bond?

No, a triple bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond. A triple bond involves sharing three pairs of electrons between two atoms, making it much stronger than a hydrogen bond, which is a weak intermolecular force.


What is the type of bond that forms the water molecule?

The weak bond that exists between water molecules is called a hydrogen bond. In a water molecule, H2O, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom. Because the oxygen atom is so much larger than the hydrogen atoms, it is more electronegative and holds the electrons more tightly. Because of this, the oxygen atom develops a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms develop a slightly positive charge. This causes the water molecule to be polar, like a bar magnet. Weak attractions (hydrogen bonds) form between adjacent water molecules, so that the slightly negative oxygen atom forms a weak bond with a slightly positive hydrogen atom.


What is the difference between an ionic bond a covalent bond and a hydrogen bond?

The ionic bond bond is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.The covalent bond is based on electrons sharing between two atoms.The hydrogen bond exist between two polar groups and is a weak bond.

Is a hydrogen bond a weak bond that is formed when a hydrogen atom covaleny bonds to one electronegative atom?

Yes it is a weak bond because the force of attraction is weak.


Is HF a weak bond?

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) forms a strong bond due to the high electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine. The bond is highly polarized, making it strong compared to other hydrogen halides. So, HF is not considered a weak bond.


What holdes nitrogen bases together?

A weak hydrogen bond, adenine and thymine have a double hydrogen bond cytosine and guanine have a triple hydrogen bond


A type of weak chemical bond formed when the partially positive hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted the partially negative atom of a neighboring molecule?

A hydrogen bond.


Is a hydrogen bond stronger that an ionic bond?

No, hydrogen bonds are weak in comparison to both ionic and covalent bonds.


Are bonds fast?

This depends on the type of bond: ionic bond is strong, hydrogen bond is weak.


What is a very weak type of bond?

It's a bond that is relatively easily broken, compared to other bonds.


What is the hydogen bond?

A hydrogen bond is a type of chemical bond. A hydrogen atom bonds with either a nitrogen, fluorine, or oxygen atom to make a weak bond.
