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

Answer»

Solution :Hydrogen bondling represents dipolar attraction. Its strength DEPENDS UPON the magnitude of the polarity of the bond. The electronegativities of threee non metals F, O and N involved in these COMPOUNDS are 4,3.5and 3respectively. This means that H-F bond is MAXIMUM POLAR and as a result, highest magnitude of hydrogen bonding is HF molecules
