Hydrogen bond in water molecules are attracted to oxygen atoms in other water molecules.
A hydrogen bond is a strong dipole-dipole attraction which occurs between:
- the hydrogen atom attached to a strongly electronegative atom (for example oxygen in water molecules)
- another strongly electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons
Hydrogen bonding occurs in the following compounds which include water, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia.
When an electronegative atom such as oxygen is bonded to hydrogen, a dipole develops causing the hydrogen to be partially positive while the other atom is partially negative.
Thus, this accounts for high boiling point in compounds that contains hydrogen bonds.
