an introduction to hydrogen bonding

Hydrogen Bond - Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force of attraction that exists in the molecules that have hydrogen atom bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. Hydrogen bond is a strong dipole-dipole attraction. Wh..

Nitrogen in its compounds with hydrogen shows hydrogen bonding though to a lesser extent than oxygen. For example, ammonia (NH 3 ) shows intermolecular hydrogen bonding...

The electrostatic force of attraction, which exists between the covalently bonded hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of the other molecule is known as hydrogen bond..

Introduction - There are more than hundred elements around us. But, we do not find these elements in their native form. This is because most of these elements are highly reactive. They interact with each other to form simple or complex substances. Only elements with the noble gas configur..

Introduction - All elements in the periodic table have been classified as metals and non-metals. The non-metals are placed on the right hand side of the periodic table. Non-metals are simple small molecules that are mostly gases. Elements between metals and non-metals are regarded as semi..

This chapter contains oxygen compounds in which oxygen is bonded to a carbon atom through a double bond. The functional unit >C = O, present in these compounds is called carbonyl group. We limit our study now to compounds having an acyl group (R - C = O) is bonded ..

Isocyanides are structural isomers of alkyl cyanides. In these compounds, the -C N group is linked to the alkyl or aryl group through N atom. The group is -NC. Thus they have the general formula is The isocyanide group also has a triple bond but constitutes a dipolar species ..

Types of Hydrogen Bonds - Hydrogen bonds can be classified into two types; Intermolecular hydrogen bond and Intramolecular hydrogen bond..
