Step-by-step explanation:
Hydrogen bonding is a type of noncovalent interaction between molecules or within a molecule in which a hydrogen atom is attracted to a highly electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. The bond is formed between the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and the partial negative charge on the other atom.
An example of hydrogen bonding is the interaction between the hydrogen atoms in the molecule of water, H2O. In the water molecule, each hydrogen atom is bonded to an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen, which means it has a stronger pull on the electrons in the bond. This creates a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom, and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms. These partial charges allow for the formation of hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule and the oxygen atoms of another water molecule. This is what gives water its unique properties, such as high boiling point, high surface tension, and high heat of vaporization.
