The attraction of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a compound is referred to as a hydrogen bond. The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is what makes up water, also known as H2O.

Is hydrogen and oxygen a compound?
Hydrogen is an element. Oxygen is an element. Hydrogen reacts with Oxygen to form a compound which is called water and has the formula H2O. Hydrogen and Oxygen can also form another compound called Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
What describes the attraction of one water molecule toward another?
This attraction is called hydrogen bond, what causes higher boyling point in relation to compounds without such bonds
What is not a true bond but rather an attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative oxygen or nitrogen atom?
It's called a hydrogen bond. (There's also a vaguely similar concept called a "dipolar" or "dative" bond, but the fact that you've limited it specifically to hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen means that "hydrogen bond" is almost certainly the term you're looking for.)
What is attraction between water particles?

Is acetylene C2H2 a compound or element?
No, Acetylene is a compound which contains atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen. Acetylene is also called Ethyne and has the formula HC2H.
What is a attraction between molecules of the same substance?
This is called an intermolecular force. It may be a van der Waals force, dipole-dipole attraction or a hydrogen bond.
What is the intermolecular bond of methanol?
If you're talking about the attraction between molecules of methanol, it's called "hydrogen bonding." It's actually not a chemical bond, just a strong positive-to-negative attraction.
What type of attraction exists between the slight positive charge of a hydrogen atom and slight negative charge of a nearby atom?
When molecules are close together, a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules. Chemists call such intermolecular forces of attraction van der Waals forces. (This also occurs in the phenomenon known as Hydrogen-bonding.) What is the alternate of a slight attraction - it is called the covalent bond. Note that an ionic bond is a type of covalent bond.
What kind of bond is a weak attraction between a slightly positive region of one atom and a slightly negative region of another?
A hydrogen bond.
Weak bonds forming a bridge between water molecules are called?
Adjacent water molecules are connected by the electrical attraction between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule. This type of bonding is called hydrogen bonding.
Intermolecular force of attraction?
there are dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding and London dispersion intermmolecular forces
What is a bond between polar covalent molecules called?
A bond between two or more polar covalent molecules is called a Dipole-Dipole attraction (or interaction).
What type of weak chemical bond formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another?
The type of weak bond formed from the attraction of opposite charges between hydrogen and other atoms is called a hydrogen bond. It is a result of electrostatic attraction.
What is a compound that only contains carbon and hydrogen?
it is called an Organic compound
What is an attraction between particles of the same substance called?
An attraction between particles of the SAME substance is called cohesion.
When is a molecular compound named as an acid?
When the compound produces hydrogen atoms, (H+) in the solution, it is called an acid.
What is a strong dipole-diploe attraction between molecules that contain a hydrogen atom bonded to a small highly electronegative atom with at least one lone electron pair called?
hydrogen bonding
