Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular bond between a hydrogen attached to a electronegantive atom (Flourine, Oxygen or Nitrogen) and an electronegative atom on a seporate molecule/ different location of the same molecule[1]. It occurs between bases in DNA and between polar water molecules. As a single bond it is weak, but when there are many hydrogen bonds together the collective stregnth is large.
