Are hydrogen bonds and polar covalent bonds the same thing?

Answer 1

No, they are not the same. A polar covalent bond forms between two atoms that have some E N difference, such as H+———Cl-, whereas a hydrogen bond forms when hydrogen is attached to high electronegative elements like F O N.

No, hydrogen bonds and polar covalent bonds are not the same thing. Polar covalent bonds occur when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unevenly, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge. Hydrogen bonds are a type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom in a separate molecule.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
