Hydrogen Bond

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a party, and you find yourself naturally gravitating towards a friend because you feel comfortable and safe around them, even though you're not physically holding onto them. This is similar to a hydrogen bond, where a hydrogen atom is drawn to another atom, like oxygen or nitrogen, due to a weak attraction, not because they're tightly bound together like covalent bonds. Just as you and your friend are drawn to each other by a sense of familiarity and comfort without being attached, a hydrogen bond is a gentle attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom, creating a connection that is essential yet easily formed and broken.
