Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Hydrogen bond
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * This is a biochemistry course and hydrogen bonds are very important to biochemistry.

Lead evaluation
There is an introductory sentence that does well in describing the subject. The lead contains some information not present in the rest of the article but it is concise with a good amount of detail. The lead also goes over some of the things that are later expanded on in the article.

Content evaluation
The content is relevant an up-to-date. There isn't any missing content but more could be added to some parts of the article. There are a few sections such as the Cellulose section and the Application to drugs section that could use some more detail. None of the information is irrelevant but if certain sections are expanded, they may warrant a separate article, such as the section on hydrogen bonds in proteins.

Tone and balance evaluation
The tone of the article is neutral as it just provides information. There are no parts of the article that offer opinions. In places where topics currently under study are discussed, a source is cited and no position on the merits of the study is taken.

Sources and references evaluation
Most of the article's contents have citations. However, the section on synthetic polymers has no citations so one should be added that provides a source for that information. Many of the sources are papers from academic journals, particularly the American Chemical Society so they are reliable sources. All the links tested work. There was one link to a website that was taken down but there is a link to an archived version of the site.

Organization

 * Organization evaluation

The article is well written and I could not find any grammatical or spelling errors. The organization of the article follows a logical pattern that hits the most important aspects of hydrogen bonds.

Images and media evaluation
The images in the article are primarily diagrams that illustrate what the sections are talking about, so they are well-placed and relevant. The captions for all images are also concise and descriptive. All images on this page are licensed under Creative Commons or are editors' own work. there is no issue with the placement of the images.

Talk page evaluation
The conversations are mostly about fact-checking the information presented. There are also clarifications and corrections about diagrams that were on the article. The article is in the WikiProject Chemistry and is rated a B-class article. It is a level 4 vital article and has a high importance within the WikiProject Chemistry. Much of the fact-checking on the talk page is similar to the fact checking that goes on in study groups about this topic. The editors go into more detail in their research than students, but the interactions are similar. The last edit to this article was 11 August, 2019 so it has not been edited in a while, which is unfortunate considering it is a fairly important article.

Overall evaluation
The article is fairly well developed and is a strong article. Adding sources in some areas in addition to expanding it by adding quantitative information could improve the article further.
