Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hydrogen bonds are found
A
between water molecules
B
within water molecules
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. The attraction between individual water molecules creates a bond known as a hydrogen bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hydrogen bonding that is present in water molecules is intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen bonding is present abundantly in the secondary structure of proteins, and also sparingly in tertiary conformation. The secondary structure of a protein involves interactions (mainly hydrogen bonds) between neighboring polypeptide backbones which contain nitrogen-hydrogen bonded pairs and oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrogen bonding of water molecules Thanks to their polarity, water molecules happily attract each other. The plus end of one-a hydrogen atom-associates with the minus end of another-an oxygen atom.
