Describe the formation of a hydrogen bond and explain how it differs from a covalent or ionic bond

Chemistry

Answers:

                  Hydrogen bond is formed when positive end of one molecule attracted negative end of other molecule. The concept is similar to magnetic attraction where opposite poles attract each other.

Explanation:

                   While understanding hydrogen bond, two terms are important, one is electronegativity (tendency of atoms to attract electrons towards itself) and other is dipole (separation of positive and negative charge in a molecule). Hydrogen bond is always formed between hydrogen atom and other atoms having electronegativity different than hydrogen.

Differ from Ionic and Covalent Bonds:

                        Hydrogen bond is weaker than ionic and covalent bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular (within the molecule) whereas hydrogen bond is intermolecular (between molecules).

Example:

       Formation of hydrogen bonding in water.

The electron affinity of an element is positive if energy is absorbed during the process of accepting an electron and negative i
julsineya [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.

Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;

Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g)      positive

Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g)      positive

For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer
