Describe, with the aid of diagrams, what hydrogen bonding is in water.
Hydrogen bonding is a strong dipole-dipole attraction between a lone pair of electrons on a highly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, and a hydrogen atom on another molecule. In the case of water, hydrogen bonds are between a delta negative oxygen atom and a delta positive hydrogen atom on different water molecules.
