Question

question 2 of 10
which of the following correctly describes a hydrogen bond?
a. a bond between glucose and water
b. a bond between two hydrogen atoms
c. a bond between hydrogen and another atom
d. a bond between hydrogen and water

Explanation:

A hydrogen - bond is an intermolecular force that occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as N, O, or F) and is attracted to another electronegative atom in a nearby molecule. It is a bond between hydrogen and another atom. Option A is too specific to glucose - water, option B is a covalent bond between two H atoms, and option D is not a general description of a hydrogen bond.

Answer:

C. A bond between hydrogen and another atom
