THE HYDROGEN BONDING TO THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SUBSTANCES, INCULDING ICE AND WATER
----------- OF THE HYDROGENBONDING TO THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SUBSTANCES, INCULDING ICE AND WATER. The electronegative elements like fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen are responsible for hydrogen bonding. Physical properties of such molecules are different from other molecules. (1) In liquid state water molecules are linked with one another through hydrogen bonding. This is why boiling point of hydrogen is more than covalent hydrides of same group. (2) The water molecules in ice become more regular in structure through hydrogen bonding. The structure of ice is diamond like i.e; each oxygen atom of water molecule have four tetrahedral corners. Two corners are occupied by bonded pair and two by lone-pair of electrons, through lone pairs oxygen atom form two hydrogen bonds with the neighboring water molecules. Due to wide...
