(f)

molecules containing a hydrogen atom linked by a covalent bond to a highly electronegative atom (like N,O of F). It is of two types namely, intermolecular hydrogen bonding (formed between two molecules of the same or different compounds) and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (formed between hydrogen atom and N,O of F atom of the same molecule).

The presence of hydrogen bonding between molecules of a substance tells us that the molecules are polar. This implies that the molecules will be soluble in a polar solvent like water. But if the hydrophobic part of the molecule is big, then that molecule would not be soluble in water. Again, if some compounds have extremely polar bonds, then they will be soluble in water.
