Hydrogen Bonds Polar Nature

Hydrogen is active, often associated with other substances, forming a hydrogen bond state. Hydrogen bonds have the sign of polarity, and this polarity is the key.

The hydrogen atom is lighter and less electronegative than other heavy atoms. When it is connected to electronegative atoms, such as oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, etc., the electron cloud is biased towards the strong electronegative atom, and the hydrogen terminal is positive and the other terminal is negative. This is the root of the polarity of hydrogen bonds.

Because of its polarity, hydrogen bonds play an important role in many state changes, molecular structure stability, and chemical reactions. The attractive force of hydrogen bonds between molecules, or orderly arrangement, or interaction, affects the melting point, solubility and other properties of substances.

To observe the microscopic world of nature, the polarity of hydrogen bonds is like a silk thread, connecting molecules, left and right physical properties, which is a secret guide for chemical changes and life processes, and is an indispensable key element in exploring the mysteries of matter.
