    Hydrogen bond is a partial intermolecular bonding interaction between a lone pair on an electron rich donor atom, particularly the second-row elements nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F), and the antibonding orbital of a bond between hydrogen (H) and a more

    electronegative atom or group. Such an interacting system is generally denoted Dn-H···Ac, where the solid line denotes a polar covalent bond, and the dotted or dashed line indicates the hydrogen bond. The use of three centered dots for the hydrogen bond is specifically recommended by the IUPAC. While hydrogen bonding has both covalence and electrostatic contributions, and the degrees to which they contribute are currently debated, the present evidence strongly implies that the primary contribution is covelant.

    Hydrogen bonds can be intermolecular (occurring between separate molecules) or

    intramolecular (occurring among parts of the same molecule)
