Question

Is hydrogen bonding stronger than dipole-dipole?

Solution

Hydrogen Bonding

Dipole-Dipole interaction

1. Hydrogen bonding occurs when Hydrogen is attached to highly electronegative elements like Fluorine(F), Oxygen(O), and Nitrogen(N)1. Dipole-Dipole interaction takes place between partially negative charged ion and partially positive charged ion.
2. Because of the high electronegative difference the atoms are held stronger and thus the bond formed is stronger.2. Because of the electrostatic attraction the bond formed between the atoms are slightly weaker.
3. Example: Alcohol has Hydrogen bond present in them because of the presence of O-H bond.3. Example: HCl has Dipole- Dipole interaction because of the presence of partial charge on both Hand Cl

.Thus, Hydrogen bonding is stronger than Dipole-Dipole interaction.
