Hydrogen bonds take place between the molecules of H2O.
• Hydrogen bonding takes place only in the molecules where the hydrogen is covalently bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
• The electronegativity of these three elements is so much that they withdraw most of the electron density in the covalent bond with hydrogen, leaving the atom of hydrogen extremely electron-deficient.
• In the molecule of water, the nucleus of oxygen with +8 charges attracts electrons better than the nucleus of hydrogen with its +1 charge.
• The hydrogen atoms apart from being covalently bonded with the atoms of oxygen are also attracted towards the oxygen atoms nearby. This attraction is the basis of the hydrogen bonds.
Thus, option B, H2O is correct.
