Step-by-Step Solution
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) and is attracted to another electronegative atom in a different molecule or part of the same molecule.
1. Analyze each compound based on its structure and the presence of highly electronegative atoms bonded to hydrogen:
* **Water (H2O):** Oxygen is highly electronegative and bonded to hydrogen. Therefore, water exhibits hydrogen bonding.
* **Ammonia (NH3):** Nitrogen is highly electronegative and bonded to hydrogen. Therefore, ammonia exhibits hydrogen bonding.
* **Hydrogen Fluoride (HF):** Fluorine is highly electronegative and bonded to hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen fluoride exhibits hydrogen bonding.
* **Methane (CH4):** Carbon is not sufficiently electronegative. Therefore, methane does not exhibit hydrogen bonding.
Correct Answer: Water, Ammonia, Hydrogen Fluoride<\/strong>
