Question

Hydrogen bonding is of two types - t Intramolecular and intermolecular Am I right ?

Answer 1

Nope. It is only intermolecular.

It is just a misnomer that we call it "hydrogen-bonding". Yes, the hydrogen is bonded within the molecule, but the term "hydrogen-bonding" does not refer to that.

It refers to the polarizing interaction with an electronegative atom on another molecule, which strictly speaking, is a significantly weaker interaction than in a regular bond.

This interaction is...

the polarization of electron density from an adjacent molecule's `H` atom by an electronegative-enough atom.

Often we speak of `"O"`, `"N"`, and `"F"` NOT bonded to the `"H"` in question as being hydrogen-bond acceptor atoms. The electronegative atom BONDED to the `"H"` atom is then the hydrogen-bond donor.

Thus, there is particularly noticeable hydrogen-bonding in `"NH"_3`, `"HF"`, and `"H"_2"O"` samples.

It is not, however, restricted to `"N"cdots"H"-"N"`, `"O"cdots"H"-"O"`, and `"F"cdots"H"-"F"` interactions. [Chloroform and acetone are also known to weakly hydrogen-bond.](https://socratic.org/questions/introduced-a-glass-into-beaker-containing-acetone-and-chloroform-what-will-you-h)
