    In water hydrogen bonding formed between partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen atoms.

    Explanation:

    Hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between hydrogen (H), which is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.

    In water molecule hydrogen and oxygen have difference in electronegativity, due to which dipoles are form. One is partial positive on hydrogen atom and other is partial negative on oxygen atom. The electrostatic attraction occur between two oppositely charged poles which is known as hydrogen bonding.
