Summary Introduction

To illustrate: The way by which hydrogen bonding affects the properties of water.

Introduction: Water molecules are attracted very well to each other. The positively charged (plus end) end of the hydrogen atom attaches with the negatively charged (minus end) end of the oxygen atom. This attraction forms the hydrogen bonding in the liquid water. This type of interaction is a weak interaction.
