Question

Select the statement that is most correct regarding chemical bonds. A. multiple bonds between two atoms are not possible with covalent bonding B. hydrogen bonds are very weak and can only occur when polar covalent bonds are present C. Ionic bonds involve the sharing of electrons D. Covalent bonds involve the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another

Answer 1

Answer:

hydrogen bonds are very weak and can only occur when polar covalent bonds are present

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are weak intermolecular interactions that occur when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom.

Owing to the difference in electro negativity between hydrogen and the highly electronegative atom, the bond is a polar covalent bond.

This hydrogen bond is a weak bond but accounts for properties such as high melting and boiling points of small molecules such as water and ammonia.
