Can H2Se form hydrogen bonds?
By comparing H2O with H2S, H2Se and H2Te, we can see that the boiling points will increase from H2S to H2Te because of the increasing molecular weights. That means H2O is supposed to have a lower boiling point then H2S, but the opposite can be observed and thus be explained by the formation of strong hydrogen bonds.What kind of intermolecular forces are found in H2S?
(a) H2S molecule:Two hydrogen atoms, and two lone non-bonding electron pairs. According to VSEPR theory, this means that the shape of the molecule is bent and because of the asymmetrical shape, the molecule is polar . The intermolecular force which polar molecules take part in are dipole-dipole forces.
Which intermolecular force is the strongest?
hydrogen bonding The strongest intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding, which is a particular subset of dipole-dipole interactions that occur when a hydrogen is in close proximity (bound to) a highly electronegative element (namely oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine).What is the strongest force in h2?
Hydrogen BondingHydrogen Bonding (H-Bonding)Hydrogen bonds are caused by highly electronegative atoms. They only occur between hydrogen and oxygen, fluorine or nitrogen, and are the strongest intermolecular force.
