View Available Hint(s) Check all that apply. Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an NN, OO, or

FF atom. The CH4CH4 molecule exhibits hydrogen bonding. A hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge when it is covalently bonded to an FF atom. A hydrogen bond is possible with only certain hydrogen-containing compounds. A hydrogen bond is equivalent to a covalent bond.

Answer:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an NN, OO, or FF atom.

A hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge when it is covalently bonded to an FF atom.

A hydrogen bond is possible with only certain hydrogen-containing compounds.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond does not occur in all hydrogen containing compounds. Hydrogen bonds only occur in those compounds where hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element such as fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen.

In a hydrogen bonded specie, hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge and the electronegative element acquires a partial negative charge which extends throughout the molecule.
