- The exposed charge on hydrogen's protons are attracted to unshared electron pairs on oxygen atoms.
This called hydrogen bonding and is seen with compounds where hydrogen is bound to nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
N-H ····N O-H·····O F-H····F the dots are the hydrogen bonds to N, O, and F.
It can also be N-H····O O-H····N etc.
