Question

How do hydrogen bonds between molecules explain why they are polar?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Molecules which are capable of hydrogen bonds have hydrogen atoms which are covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements (O, N, F). The presence of hydrogen bonding between molecules of a substance indicates that the molecules are polar. This means the molecules will be soluble in a polar solvent such as water.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The attractive force between water molecules is a dipole interaction. The hydrogen atoms are bound to the highly electronegative oxygen atom (which also possesses two lone pair sets of electrons, making for a very polar bond. Hydrogen bonds are very strong compared to other dipole interactions.
