Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that exists between polar covalent molecules, one of which has a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a small and extremely electronegative element, specifically an N, O, or F atom, on the other molecule. Hydrogen bonding is a subset of dipole-dipole forces.True / False.

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a type of attractive intermolecular force that is present between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative element of one molecule and the lone pair present on an electronegative element of another molecule.

Molecules having polar covalent bonds show hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding can be described as the subset of the dipole-dipole interaction.
