Water, H2O, is a polar molecule in which the larger, more electronegative oxygen atom develops a partial negative charge, and the smaller, less electronegative hydrogen atoms develop a partial positive charge. The slightly negative oxygen atom of one water molecule is attracted to the slightly positive hydrogen atom of another water molecule. This weak attraction is called a hydrogen bond.

Can water form hydrogen bonds form with itself?
Intermolecular bonds of water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
What molecule does not form bonds?
hydrogen bonds
Are ionic covalent and hydrogen bonds all types of molecular bonds?
Covalent bonds form molecules where ionic bonds form ionic lattices. Hydrogen bonds are a form of intermolecular bonds which are formed with the participation of polar hydrogen atoms which are attached to either nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
