What can affect the strength of a hydrogen bond? and bonds_sepiabackground

What can affect the strength of a hydrogen bond?



I know that they're not as strong as a normal covalent bond, but stronger than normal dipole forces. What can make the hydrogen bond weaker or stronger? Temperature changes - hot,cold? Please help!
Thanks in advance.


Bond best answer:

Answer by Evelyn Dorothy
The strength of a hydrogen bond depends upon the electronegativities, sizes of the two atoms,temperature, pressure, bond angle, and environment (usually characterized by local dielectric constant).
