Which situation describes a hydrogen bond? view available hint(s) which situation describes a hydrogen bond? the h atom of a water molecule interacts with the o lone-pair electrons of a neighboring water molecule. the h atom of a water molecule covalently bonds to the o in the same molecule. the h bonds to na in nah. h+ acts as a lewis acid.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is defined as a bonding which exists between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom like O, N and F.

But when H atom of a water molecule covalently bonds to the O in the same molecule then it will be a covalent bond and not a hydrogen bond.

As H atom of a water molecule has a partial positive charge so, it will interact with the O lone-pair electrons of a neighboring water molecule and then it will lead to the formation of a hydrogen bond.

Thus, we can conclude that the situation H atom of a water molecule interacts with the O lone-pair electrons of a neighboring water molecule, describes a hydrogen bond.
