Among water and hydrogen chloride in which hydrogen bond strongest |
|
Answer» WELL, first-of-all you need to UNDERSTAND that the H BONDING isn't actually bonding. It is just a covalent attraction. Also since Cl is larger than O it does not make a strong H bond. The size of the Cl makes the dipole-dipole attraction weaker. However N, F and O are smaller and thus have an H bond. Although in REALITY, compared to other COVALENTLY bonded structures, HCl has a very strong covalent bond. |
