What causes the polarity in molecules like water and ammonia?

• Presence of ionic bonds

• Asymmetry and electronegative atoms bonded to hydrogen

• Equal sharing of electrons

• Symmetrical distribution of electrons

Which element is NOT involved in forming hydrogen bonds as mentioned in the text?

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

• Fluorine

• Carbon

What is the role of hydrogen bonds in DNA?

• They connect the sugar and phosphate groups

• They are not present in DNA

• They form the backbone of DNA

• They form between base pairs to hold the double helix together

Why do molecules like water have higher boiling points than expected?

• Due to their ionic nature

• Because they are non-polar

• Because of hydrogen bonds

• Due to their low molar mass

What is the relationship between hydrogen bonds and dipole-dipole forces?

• Hydrogen bonds are weaker than dipole-dipole forces

• Hydrogen bonds are a special case of dipole-dipole forces

• They are unrelated

• Dipole-dipole forces are a type of hydrogen bond

Which of the following is true about London dispersion forces?

• They are stronger than hydrogen bonds

• They are proportional to the molar mass

• They do not affect boiling points

• They are the only forces in polar molecules

How do hydrogen bonds affect proteins?

• They influence the shape and function of proteins

• They have no effect on proteins

• They determine the sequence of amino acids

• They break down proteins

What is the significance of hydrogen bonds in water?

• They do not exist in water

• They contribute to water's high boiling point and cohesion

• They are responsible for water's low boiling point

• They make water a non-polar molecule
