Grade 12 Chemistry

For which of the following compounds is hydrogen bonding the main intermolecular force?
Question 19 options:

a) CS2
b) HCN
c) HBr
d) H2
e) H2O2

1 answer

The correct answer is e) H2O2. Hydrogen bonding is the main intermolecular force in compounds that contain hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative elements such as oxygen (O) or nitrogen (N). In H2O2, hydrogen bonding occurs between the hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atoms in the molecule.
