A weak bond between a hydrogen atom attached to one oxygen or nitrogen atom and another oxygen or nitrogen atom. Important in water, proteins, and chromosomes hydrogen bonding.<\/p>\n

A weak electrostatic bond formed by linking a hydrogen atom between two electronegative atoms (e.g. nitrogen or oxygen). The large number of hydrogen bonds in proteins and nucleic acids are responsible for maintaining the stable molecular structure of these compounds.<\/p>\n

\n

The weak attraction of a covalently bonded hydrogen to nearby oxygen or nitrogen atoms in the same or a different molecule. Hydrogen bonds give water its cohesiveness and its surface tension.
