What kinds of substances besides water can be involved in hydrogen bonding?

Answer 1

The best examples to cite would be ammonia, and hydrogen fluoride.

Both #NH_3# and #HF# feature the hydrogen atom bound to a highly electronegative element. The resultant bond polarity gives rise to hydrogen bonding as a potent intermolecular force. You should check the boiling points of both these materials, and compare them to their Group homologues, #PH_3# and #HX#.

Substances besides water that can be involved in hydrogen bonding include ammonia (NH3), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and alcohols such as ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and methanol (CH3OH).

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.
