Answer:

hi there!

To put it in simple terms, hydrogen bonding is attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen

Hydrogen bonding is when the hydrogens of one molecule are slightly polar (have a slight positive charge) and are therefore attracted to an atom of another molecule that is also slightly polar (but has a negative charge). These two will form a weak charge. A great example of this can be found in water.
