Week 2-3: Hydrogen Bonding

•An atom of Hydrogen linked covalently to strongly electronegative atom  (F,O, N)  can establish an extra weak attachment to another electronegative atom .This Secondary attachment is called hydrogen bonding

  • Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding
  • Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding
