hydrogen bond
[noun]
A strong dipole-dipole attraction between two or more molecules, at least one of which has a hydrogen atom bonded to an electron-withdrawing atom. More specifically, a weak bond formed between a hydrogen atom on one molecule which has developed a partial positive charge because of its bonding to an electronegative atom (commonly N, O, or F) and an electronegative atom on another molecule.
