MCQ
The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in $HF:$
  • A
    Ion induced dipole
  • Dipole dipole
  • C
    dipole induced dipole
  • D
    None

Answer

Correct option: B.
Dipole dipole
A hydrogen bond is formed by a dipole$-$dipole force between an electronegative atom $($the hydrogen acceptor$)$ and a hydrogen atom that attaches covalently with another electronegative atom $($the hydrogen donor$)$ of the same molecule or of a different molecule.
Only nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine atoms can interact with hydrogen to form hydrogen bonds. Hence the molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in $HF$ are dipole$-$dipole interaction.
