A hydrogen bond is a bond between a lone pair of electrons on oxgen and a hydrogen atom.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

The differences may be due to the length of the nonpolar tail, or any other structural significance for that matter.
