Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following features are correct for hydrogen bonding?I. It is involved in the cohesion of water.II. It results in the thermal properties of water.III. It is a bond within the water molecule.
A
I and II only
B
II and III only
C
I and III only
D
I, II and III
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. Water molecules are polar, so they form hydrogen bonds. This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force which occurs between two molecules which have a hydrogen atom directly bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atom. So no, two hydrogen atoms alone cannot engage in hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-3: -First molecules has hydrogen attached to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, F). (hydrogen bond donor) Second molecule has a lone pair of electrons on a small highly electronegative atom (N, O, F). (hydrogen bond acceptor) 27-Aug-2022
