Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen bonds are attractions of electrostatic force caused by the difference in charge between slightly positive hydrogen ions and other, slightly negative ions. In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Strong linkages-called covalent bonds-hold together the hydrogen (white) and oxygen (red) atoms of individual H2O molecules. Covalent bonds occur when two atoms-in this case oxygen and hydrogen-share electrons with each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -That’s why among all options options C is the correct option which says that hydrogen bonding is interaction between positive and negative region of polar molecules. So, yes, it is an interaction between positive and negative region of the molecule.
