Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 7.2 Hydrogen-bond interactions
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Show the donor H attached to N, O or F, aim the dotted attraction at a lone pair on another molecule and add the relevant partial charges and angle.

How this is tested

  • Draw hydrogen bonds from a lone pair to a δ+ H with the required molecular alignment.
  • Explain anomalous HF or NH₃ boiling points by identifying intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
