Which of the following hydrogen bonds is the strongest?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: B

Hydrogen bond strength increases with the electronegativity and decreases with the size of the atom bonded to H. Fluorine is the most electronegative and one of the smallest, so is strongest. Sulfur gives only a very weak interaction.
