Among `NH_(3),H_(2)O`, and `HF`, which would you expect to have highest magnitude of hydrogen bonding and why?A. HF due to maximum polarity.B. `H_(2)O` due to lone pairs of electrons.C. `NH_(3)` due to small size of nitrogen.D. `H_(2)S` due to higher electron affinity of sulphur. |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Since H - F bond has maximum polarity due to most electronegative nature of fluorine, hydrogen bonding is maximum in HF molecules. |
