Question 1 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Are hydrogen bonds formed between all molecules?

Answer
A
No because hydrogen can only form these bonds with oxygen atoms.
B
No because hydrogen can only form these bonds with highly electronegative atoms.
C
Yes because hydrogen can easily form bonds with atoms that have a neutral charge.
D
Yes because hydrogen can form these bonds with weakly electronegative atoms.

Explanation

No. Hydrogen bonds form only when hydrogen is associated with highly electronegative atoms—usually nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine—and interacts with an electronegative atom on another molecule. So hydrogen bonding does not occur between all molecules. Choice A is too restrictive because nitrogen and fluorine can also be involved, not just oxygen.
