Which one of the following does not form hydrogen bonding?
(a) NH3
(b) H2O
(c) HCl
(d) HF
Answer : (c) HCl
Explanation :
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) does not form hydrogen bonding. This is because in hydrogen bonding the bonding is formed between hydrogen and elements Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2) and Flourine (F). In Hydrochloric acid (HCl) there are no elements like Nitrogen, Oxygen and Flourine so it cannot form hydrogen bonding.
