How do hydrogen bonds form???
Hydrogen bonds are formed by the attraction between opposite charged dipoles between polar molecules and play a significant role in the behavior of many compounds including water and DNA. Physical properties such as boiling point, surface tension and solubility are the result of these dipoles and their corresponding hydrogen bonds.Covalent BondsCovalent bonds occur when atoms share an electron to form a bond. Nonpolar covalent bonds occur when the atoms are shared evenly.Polar Covalent BondsIn polar covalent bonds, the electrons are not shared equally between the atoms. The electrons have a greater probability of being near one atom than another.DipolesThe unequal sharing of the electron gives a slight negative charge to one atom and a slight positive charge to the other, called a dipole.Hydrogen Bond FormationA hydrogen bond is a weak attraction between the slightly negative charge of one polar molecule with the slightly positive charge of another polar molecule.Hydrogen Bond Strength
