Is hydrogen bonding stronger than dipole-dipole?
Hydrogen Bonding | Dipole-Dipole interaction |
1. Hydrogen bonding occurs when Hydrogen is attached to highly electronegative elements like Fluorine, Oxygen, and Nitrogen | 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 bond. | 3. Example: has Dipole- Dipole interaction because of the presence of partial charge on both and |
.Thus, Hydrogen bonding is stronger than Dipole-Dipole interaction.
