Which molecules are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with each other?

Hints
  1. This bond needs hydrogen attached to one of three specific elements.
  2. Check what each hydrogen in the list is actually bonded to.
Show the answer
  • B. H2H_{2}O
  • C. NH3NH_{3}
  • D. HF
Why

H-bonding requires H bonded to N, O, or F. CH4CH_{4} has H bonded only to C (not electronegative enough), so it cannot hydrogen bond.
