In this video, we finish looking at intermolecular forces by exploring Hydrogen bonding. First we look at what is meant by a Hydrogen bond and the correct way to draw them. We then look at the conditions needed to form a Hydrogen bond and why these only form with fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen. Finally, we look at Hydrogen bonding in water and see how Hydrogen bonding gives water its unusual properties.
