Which of the following statements is not true about hydrogen bond?

The correct answer is option a.

A hydrogen bond is formed when the H atom gets covalently bonded to more electronegative atoms like N, F, and O. Individually, hydrogen bonds are very weak and can be easily broken. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.

A strong hydrogen bonding is found in water, where the H atom of one of the water molecules interacts with the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom of the other water molecule. Hence option (b) is the incorrect choice.

In the beta-sheet structure, the polypeptide chains are held together by hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds are responsible for the stability of the beta-sheets and thereby this option can be neglected.

Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the high stability of double-stranded DNA. Between the two strands, hydrogen bonds are formed by the complementary pairing of a base from one strand with a base from the other. Hence this statement is true and hence the option can be neglected.

In alpha-helix, hydrogen bonds are formed between -CO and -NH groups of the main chain. These hydrogen bonds are responsible for the high stability of the alpha-helix. Hence this option is also neglected.

  1. The correct answer option is (d).

a) One characteristic of water is that it has a high boiling point which is 100 degrees Celsius. This high boiling point is due to the existence of H-bonds (hydrogen bonds) which require a high amount of energy for their breakage. Hence, the incorrect option is (a).

b) Potentially water (H2O) has the ability to form 4 H-bonds with other neighboring water molecules. Two H-bonds can be formed with the 2 H (hydrogen) atoms and two H-bonds can be formed with one oxygen molecule (contains 2 lone pairs of electrons). Hence, the incorrect option is (b).

c) The covalent bonds are much stronger than individual H-bonds because in covalent bonding there is actual sharing of electrons while in H-bonding there is an attraction (due to electronegativity difference) between the atoms. Hence, the incorrect option is (c).

d) Individual H-bonds cannot exist in water as H-bond formation requires the existence of at least two water molecules. Hence, the correct option is (d).

e) The strength of the H-bonds depends on several factors like temperature, linearity, bond angle, environment, and more. Hence, the incorrect option is (e).

letter start the question the question says that which of the following statement is not true first option is intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between two different molecules of compound this statement is correct inter means between two molecules second option intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between two different molecules of same compound this is wrong because it remains same molecule intramolecular hydrogen bonding should be between three molecule not between different compounds it must be in same compound so answer is correct now being strong let's see the sea option intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed within

molecules this is correct in term of hydrogen bonds are have strong influence on physical properties of compound this is true this is correct physical properties mants boiling point and melting point so this is also correct we have to choose which is not true so we will be the right answer thank you

Which statement is not true about hydrogen bonds?

Answer and Explanation: The answer is D). Hydrogen bonding does not form in salts such as NaCl.

Which of the following statements are true about hydrogen bonds?

The correct answer: The true statement about the hydrogen bond is c. Hydrogen bond is weak force between atoms in a molecule but is of enormous importance in physiology.

What must be true for hydrogen bonds?

In order for a hydrogen bond to occur there must be both a hydrogen donor and an acceptor present. The donor in a hydrogen bond is usually a strongly electronegative atom such as N, O, or F that is covalently bonded to a hydrogen bond.

Which of the following is true for hydrogen?

Hydrogen is combustible and non-supporter of combustion and this could be understood by a small activity in which if burning candle is placed in a hydrogen gas-filled gas jar with its mouth downwards then light candle gets extinguished but the gas burns with a pop-up sound.
