Within a water molecule is covalent bonds. between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
This type of bond can occur in inorganic molecules such as water and in organic molecules like DNA and proteins. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is responsible for the high boiling point of water (100 Â°C) compared to the other group 16 hydrides that have much weaker hydrogen bonds.
