Question
Hydrogen bonds can form between regions of polar molecule that are ..?
Answer
Hydrogen bonds can form between regions of polar molecule that are within close proximity of each other in the molecule (the attracting polar groups are most often bound to vivinal (adjacent) carbon atoms) due to the molecular geometry.
For example, intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs in -aminoacids between carboxyl and amino groups:
or ethylene glycol between its two hydroxyl groups:
