Subjective Type

Write a short note on 'Hydrogen bond'.

Solution

A hydrogen bond is a type of a dipole - dipole interaction
between $$\mathrm{H}$$ and more electro negative atom such as O, F
and N. A hydrogen bond is stronger than Van-der Waal's forces, but weaker
than Covalent bonds or ionic bands. There are two types of
hydrogen bond:
1. Intermolecular hydrogen bond : This type of bond is formed between two or more same or different molecules.
Example : Water, ammonia etc.

2. Intramolecular hydrogen bond: This type of bond is formed
between two different atoms of Same molecule
Example: 0 - nitrophenol
