Which compound has the strongest hydrogen bonds?

Answer: HF.

  • A HF
  • B HCl
  • C H<sub>2</sub>S
  • D NH<sub>3</sub>

Correct answer: A. HF

Explanation: HF has the strongest hydrogen bonds due to fluorine's extreme electronegativity, though HF forms only one H-bond per molecule.

VSEPR theory predicts molecular shape from the number of bonding and lone electron pairs around the central atom.

Concept context

Understand how atoms join to form molecules. Covers ionic and covalent bonding, VSEPR theory, hybridization (sp, sp², sp³), molecular orbital theory, bond polarity, and intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding.
