Answer:

This is a specific type of dipole-dipole force is known as Hydrogen bonding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) is an intermolecular force having partial ionic-covalent character. H-bonding takes place between a hydrogen atom attached with an electronegative atom( like : O, N and F) and lone pairs of electrons on an neighboring atoms.

Generally this type of bonding is observed where atoms like nitrogen , oxygen, fluorine attached to another molecule are present in neighbors of a hydrogen atom attached to other molecule. This bonding arises due to the interaction between the developed partial positive and negative charges on the hydrogen and electronegative atoms.
