This question is somewhat ambiguous, because the phrase "hydrogen bond" has a special meaning that is distinct from "chemical bond including a hydrogen atom", another possible meaning of the phrase. A "hydrogen bond" in its specialized meaning is not a chemical bond in the normal sense of a stable association between two particular atoms that causes the atoms to have a smaller internuclear distance than the total of the unbonded atomic radii of the two atoms that are bonded together and that assures that both of the bonded atoms are part of the same kinetic unit as described by kinetic molecular theory. Instead, a "hydrogen bond" in this specialized sense is an attraction between the nucleus of a bonded hydrogen atom and a nucleophilic portion of another atom or molecule than the one to or in which the hydrogen atom in question is bonded. This attraction is weaker than average for a chemical bond but is strong enough, in favorable instances, to affect quite strongly the physical properties of a compound, as illustrated by the fact that water has a much higher boiling point than hydrogen sulfide, because the attractions between bonded oxygen atoms and bonded hydrogen atoms in different molecules of water are much stronger than the corresponding attractions between bonded sulfur atoms and the bonded hydrogen atoms in other hydrogen sulfide molecules.
After -- I hope -- clarifying that distinction, it is possible to answer the question meaningfully: Heptane does not have "hydrogen bonds" in the specialized sense, because heptane molecules do not have strongly nucleophilic portions. However, each heptane molecule contains sixteen chemical bonds between specific hydrogen atoms and specific carbon atoms.
No, heptane does not have hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding occurs between hydrogen atoms and either nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atoms, none of which are present in heptane's structure.
Yes, Heptane is non-polar. It is nonpolar because it lacks a polar group in its composition and cannot form dipoles or have dipole moments.
Heptane is soluble in hexane due to their nonpolar properties.

Is heptane ionic or covalent?
Heptane is a covalent compound. It is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms held together by covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electron pairs between the atoms.
A type of weak chemical bond formed when the partially positive hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted the partially negative atom of a neighboring molecule?
A hydrogen bond.
Is a hydrogen bond stonger then a covalent bond?
No, a hydrogen bond is weaker than a covalent bond. A hydrogen bond is an electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules, while a covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonds are typically stronger and more stable than hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen bond or coordinate bond - which is weakest?
Hydrogen bond is generally weaker than a coordinate bond. A hydrogen bond is an attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom, while a coordinate bond is formed when one atom donates a pair of electrons to be shared with another atom. In general, hydrogen bonds are weaker than coordinate bonds due to their partial electrostatic nature.
What bond is formed between H plus and OH?
A hydrogen bond is formed between H+ and OH-. Hydrogen bond is a type of dipole-dipole interaction where H+ acts as a hydrogen bond donor and OH- acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor.
How many atoms are in heptane?
Heptane has a chemical formula of C7H16. To calculate the number of atoms in heptane, add the number of carbon atoms (7) to the number of hydrogen atoms (16), resulting in a total of 23 atoms in heptane.
Is heptane ionic or covalent?
Heptane is a covalent compound. It is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms held together by covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electron pairs between the atoms.
Does Heptane have hydrogen bonds?

What is the type of bond that attracts an oxygen and hydrogen molecule?
A hydrogen bond is the type of bond that attracts an oxygen and hydrogen molecule. In a hydrogen bond, the hydrogen atom from one molecule is attracted to the electronegative oxygen atom of another molecule.
A type of weak chemical bond formed when the partially positive hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted the partially negative atom of a neighboring molecule?
A hydrogen bond.
Is a hydrogen bond is stonger than an ionic bond?
No, an ionic bond is considerably stronger than a hydrogen bond.
Is C and H in methane CH4 an example of a hydrogen bond?
No, the bond between carbon and hydrogen in methane (CH₄) is a covalent bond, not a hydrogen bond. A hydrogen bond is a type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) and a neighboring electronegative atom.
When hydrogen atoms are kept in water then type of bond between water and hydrogen?
hydrogen bond.
What else could be called a hydrogen bond?
A hydrogen bond can also be referred to as a hydrogen bridge.
Is salts hydrogen bonded?
Salt has an ionic bond, not a hydrogen bond.
Is a hydrogen bond stonger then a covalent bond?
No, a hydrogen bond is weaker than a covalent bond. A hydrogen bond is an electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules, while a covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonds are typically stronger and more stable than hydrogen bonds.
What holdes nitrogen bases together?
A weak hydrogen bond, adenine and thymine have a double hydrogen bond cytosine and guanine have a triple hydrogen bond
