The
interaction of a hydrogen atom
with another atom,
influencing the physical properties and three-dimensional structure of a
chemical substance. Hydrogen
bonding generally occurs between atoms of
hydrogen and nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. An important example of a hydrogen bonding is the formation of the DNA
double helix.
