Which of the following is true of a hydrogen bond?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

None of the statements are true. A hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom in a polar molecule and a partially negatively charged atom (usually oxygen or nitrogen) in a different polar molecule. Therefore, option A is incorrect as it requires nonpolar molecules. Option B is incorrect as the bond energy of a hydrogen bond is much weaker than that of a covalent bond. Option C is incorrect as the bond length of a hydrogen bond is longer than a covalent bond.
