Solutions

Expert Solution

•Actually there is no significant similarities between covalent and hydrogen bonds but even some of similarity between them is :

Both covalent and hydrogen bonds are forms of intermolecular forces.
Covalent and hydrogen bonds are types of chemical bonds.
Both covalent and hydrogen bonds occur between two atoms.
Both type of bonds (covalent & hydrogen) act as a glue between two atoms.

•Similarity between a hydrogen bond and an electrostatic interaction:

Electrostatic interaction involve the attractive interaction between negatively charged anion and positively charged cation. Similarly hydrogen bond involve the attractive interaction between negatively charged lone pair of electron on highly Electronegative atom and slightly positively charged hydrogen atom bonded to highly electronegative atom.

• difference between an electrostatic interaction and a hydrogen bond:

Electrostatic interaction in ionic bond involve transfer of electron from one atom to another atom to form anion and cation . Whereas in hydrogen bond transfer of electron do not occur as well as cation and anion do not form.
