Hydrogen bonding between a water molecule and an ammonia (NH3) molecule. Note that the N atom in the NH3 molecule is attracted to H atom in the H20 molecule

Answer:

A single bond, but it's also a hydrogen bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hydrogen bond forms when hydrogen bonds to the 3 most electronegative atoms: Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluorine.

It's a single bond because hydrogen only has two valence electrons. Therefore, the rest of the electrons are placed around the nitrogen atom.
