Why doesn't chlorine form hydrogen bonds even though it is more electronegative than nitrogen?
Chlorine has a higher electronegativity, but as it has a large atomic radius the electron density is spread out over a large area. This means that the electron density is too low to form proper hydrogen bonds, and will only be attracted via dipole-dipole attraction.
