Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Hydrogen bonds are weak, with 100 Kcal/mole bond energy.
Statement (II): Hydrogen bonds play an important part in determining physical properties, and stability of crystal structures.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• B. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.
• C. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• D. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.

Hint:

Covalent bond energy is around \(100\text{ kcal/mol}\), whereas hydrogen bond energy is much weaker, typically around \(2-10\text{ kcal/mol}\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
