certain c-h groups can form weak hydrogen bonds. why would such a group be more likely to be a hydrogen bond donor group when the c is next to n

C-H groups can form weak hydrogen bonds and such compounds are more likely to have hydrogen bond donor groups because the hydrogen group is highly polar which is bonded to a strongly electronegative atom such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.

As the atom bonded with hydrogen atom have an equivalent partial negative charge, so it can only accept H-bonds from other atoms.

Thus, c-h groups forming weak hydrogen bonds are more likely to be hydrogen bond donor group.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
