Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when H atom is linked to an electronegative atom like F, O or N. it is the force of attraction between small positive charge developed on H atom and small negative charge developed on electronegative atom due to displacement of electrons towards more electronegative atom.
