    How are atomic radii and H-bond strength related?

    A good rule to remember is that H-bonds(such as H-O, H-F, and H-N) > dipole-dipole bonds (such as H-Cl in this case). Another way to look at this is by the atomic radii. The radii for H-F is smaller than H-CL, this makes it much harder to break away due to the Hydrogen being so close to the...
