Hydrogen bonds result in the high specific heat of water. Hydrogen bonds are examples of strong intermolecular bonds. Hydrogen bonds are examples of strong intermolecular bonds. Hydrogen bonds are examples of weak intermolecular bonds. Hydrogen bonds are examples of weak intermolecular bonds. Formation of hydrogen bonds results from the transfer of electrons between atoms.

Answer 1

The following statements about hydrogen bonds are true:

1. Hydrogen bonds result in the high specific heat of water.
2. Hydrogen bonds are examples of weak intermolecular bonds.

The other statements are incorrect:

• Hydrogen bonds are not considered strong intermolecular bonds; they are generally classified as weak compared to covalent or ionic bonds.
• The formation of hydrogen bonds does not involve the transfer of electrons between atoms; instead, hydrogen bonds occur due to the attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a more electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
