Magnitude of Hydrogen bond is found to be maximum in?
Solution
Hint : The hydrogen has a special tendency to have an interaction with the atom to which the hydrogen is not covalently bonded and is coined as the Hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bond is not a complete bond, but is just a weak interaction between the hydrogen atom already bonded to another atom with a third atom. Such interactions fall in the category of weak attractions.
Complete Step By Step Answer:
The Hydrogen atom is capable of doing an interaction with the atom(s) to which the hydrogen has no bond or no electron sharing is called the Hydrogen bond.
Nature has mainly four states of matter, the solids, the liquids, the gases and the plasma. The molecules in the gaseous state have the least strength of attraction, the liquids have more affinity towards the particles. The state of plasma has the interactive forces between, the solids and the liquids. The solid state has the most attractive strength of the particles. Thus, the magnitude of the strength of the particles is maximum in solids.
As for the strength of the bond, interactions are most in solids thus it is obvious to say that the strength of hydrogen bond is maximum in solids and least in gases.
Note :
The hydrogen bond is only observed when the hydrogen atom has a covalent bond with the electronegative atoms like Fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen and the interaction is with an atom which is less electronegative than the Fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen. The hydrogen bonds are of two types, (i) intermolecular hydrogen bonding and (ii) intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
