The correct order of the strength of H-bonds is :
Correct answer: A. H-F > H-O > H-N
- A. H-F > H-O > H-N
- B. H-N > H-O > H-F
- C. H-O > H-N > H-F
- D. H-F > H-N > H-O
Explanation
[Strength of H-bond ∝ E.N. of Z atom] As electronegativity of fluorine is highest... So hf is the strongest bond.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
