1.

Among NH_(3), H_(2)O and HF , which would you expect to have highest magnitude of hydrogen bonding and why ?

Answer»

Solution :Due to GREATER electronegativity of N, O and F over, H, all these molecules undergo intermolecular H-bonding

However,since electronegativity of F is the highest, THEREFORE, magnitude of the +ve charge on HYDORGEN and -ve charge of F is the highest and HENCE electrostatic attraction or the H-bonding is the strongest in H-F
