Which of the following statements correctly explains why hydrogen bonding is such a strong intermolecular force?

• There is an attraction between a small, weakly electronegative hydrogen atom and a large, strongly electronegative atom of fluorine, nitrogen, or oxygen

• There is an attraction between a small, highly electronegative hydrogen atom and a large, highly electronegative fluorine atom

• There is an attraction between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, only

• There is an attraction between the hydrogen and nitrogen atoms, only
