We know that intermolecular Hydrogen bonding is seen in Hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$.But is intramolecular H-bonding,i.e. Hydrogen bond between an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom attached to the adjacent Oxygen atom possible?How strong will it be,compared to intermolecular H-bonding and why?
@ManishEarth The question never asked what a hydrogen bond is.
And I offer an accepted metric in determining how to characterize a bond as being a hydrogen bond.
I dare anyone to enter into a debate regarding what exactly is a hydrogen bond :P
But I learned something new today. Never would have guessed that an intramolecular hbond may even exist in H2O2. I mean just looking at that structure was enough to convince me that one couldn't possibly exist.
I still dont like using the NBO analysis to determine hbonding but I dont have the time to do a Bader analysis.
