Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces- weaker than covalent bonds that hold the molecules together. The diagram probaly shows molecules with otted lines from H atoms to an O or N aatom on an adjacent molecule.

In the hydrogen chloride molecule the atoms are held together by a what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
What is the role of hydrogen bonds in DNA?
The two strands of DNA that make up the double helix are connected by hydrogen bonds between the base pairs. For DNA to replicate, it must continuously zip and unzip the two strands. If those strands were held together by anything stronger than a hydrogen bond (say covalent bonds), it would require too much energy to unzip them and DNA would not be able to replicate. Were they to be held together by anything weaker dipole-dipole or dispersion forces), they probably would not stay together at all.
How are the oxygen molecules in a molecule of oxygen held together?
If you are mentioning about sticking two hydrogen atoms with one oxygen atom, then it's water. Other than that, oxygen and hydrogen are not together, unless they are water, hydrogen peroxide, or some other compound with an -OH group. In such compounds the hydrogen and oxygen are held together by covalent bonds, the sharing of electrons.
What describes the bond between nitrogen and hydrogen?
Polar covalent bond between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms Polar covalent bond between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.
What types of bonds do water form?
Water molecules form covalent bonds, because they are non-metal compounds. If you mean the bonds within the water molecules themselves, they are Hydrogen bonds.
The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by?
The strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds
The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by what?
Hydrogen Bonds
How are base held together?
hydrogen bonds
What two things would happen if hydrogen bonds held the backbones together but covalent bonds held the templates together?
Hydrogen bonds are weak, but they are able to hold the backbones together. If covalent bonds held the templates together instead, the bonds would be even weaker and would likely break.
What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?
The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
How many bonds hold the bases of C and G together?
Adenine and Thymine Guanine and Cytosine held together by hydrogen bonds: 2 for A-T and 3 for G-C
What nucleotides can be held together by weak hydrogen bonds?
DNA contains four nucleotide bases, which are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. The pairs of nucleotides that can be held together by weak hydrogen bonds are purines and pyrimidines.
. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
How are the bases in the base pair held together?
hydrogen bonds
How are complementary nitrogenous bases held together?
hydrogen bonds
How are nucleic acids held together?
Through covalent and hydrogen bonds. The covalent bonds hold the pentose sugar-phosphate backbone together and are alternatively called phosphodiester bonds. The hydrogen bonds are between the nitrogen bases and hold the "rungs" of the ladder together.
What bond DNA forms a double helix?
The base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
