Question

H-F forms hydrogen bonding - True or False?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

According to the definition of hydrogen bonding, it is an electrostatic attraction between polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine experiences attraction to some other nearby electronegative atom.
In HF the hydrogen bonding can be represented as
H–F-----H–F -------H–F-----H–F-----H–F
As you can see, there is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged dipoles.
