MCQ
Hydrogen bond formation takes place between the hydrogen atom and an atom having high $ .........$
  • A
    Electronaffinity
  • Electronegativity
  • C
    Ionization potential
  • D
    Atomic size

Answer

Correct option: B.
Electronegativity
A hydrogen bond is the electrostatic attraction between polar molecules that occurs when a hydrogen atom bound to a highly electronegative atom such as Nitrogen,oxygen or fluorine experiences attraction to some other nearby highly electronegative atom.
