Although nitrogen and chlorine have very nearly same electronegativity yet nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding while chlorine does not. Why?

Answer»

Solution :Due to bigger size of Cl as compared to N, electron DENSITY PER unit volume on N is higher than on Cl. As a result N can attract the H aotms of `H_(2)O` more strongly than Cl. THUS, N forms H-bonds but Cl does not.
