The hydrogen bond is a sort of super Blank force. Polar molecules containing hydrogen atoms bonded Blank to fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen exhibit an intermolecular force called hydrogen bonding. The Blank electronegativity difference between hydrogen and these electronegative elements means that the HH atoms will have fairly Blank partial Blank charges, while the FF, OO, or NN atoms will have fairly Blank partial Blank charges. In addition, because these atoms are all quite small, they can approach one another very closely. The result is a strong Blank between the hydrogen in each of these molecules and the FF, OO, or NN on its neighbors, an attraction called a hydrogen bond.target 1 of 8target 2 of 8target 3 of 8target 4 of 8target 5 of 8target 6 of 8target 7 of 8target 8 of 8
