    The correct order of strength of H-bond in the following compound -

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}>HF>{{H}_{2}}S\]

    B) \[HF>{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}>{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}S\]

    C) \[HF>{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}S>{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    D) \[HF>{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}>{{H}_{2}}S\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Strength of H-bonding is higher in \[{{H}_{2}}O,\]than \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] because the amount of formal negative charge on oxygen atom in case of water is more than that of \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}.\]
