Explain why water molecules form on average two hydrogen bonds per molecule, whereas ammonia molecules (NH3) form only one.

To form a Hydrogen bond, a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor are required. The hydrogen bond donors are lone pairs of electrons and hydrogen bond...

what is electronegativity and explain the trend in electronegativity as we go down the group?

The tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself is known as electronegativity. When we move from top to bottom in a group, ele...

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of water.Is the reaction an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Formation of water is as follows:H2 (g)+ ½ O2(g)⟶H2O(g) Bond energy or enthalpy is the amount of heat required to break a bond. Same amount of energy is re...
