🧪 Quick Study Guide

  • 🧊 Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force, specifically an especially strong dipole-dipole interaction. It occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine).
  • 💧 The hydrogen bond is formed between this hydrogen atom and another electronegative atom in a different molecule (or in a different part of the same molecule).
  • 🌡️ Hydrogen bonding significantly affects physical properties like:
    • 🌡️Boiling Point: Increases boiling points due to the extra energy needed to break these intermolecular forces.
    • 💧Surface Tension: Enhances surface tension in liquids like water.
    • 🧊Density: Affects the density of substances; for example, ice is less dense than liquid water due to hydrogen bonding creating a more open structure.
    • 🧬Structure of Biological Molecules: Essential for the structure and function of proteins and DNA.
  • 📝 Strength of hydrogen bond typically ranges from 5 to 30 kJ/mol.
