Hydrogen Atom Electronegative Partial Positive Charge Covalently Bonded

Front The partial positive charge on a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom allows the hydrogen to be attracted to a different electronegative atom nearby. This noncovalent attraction between a hydrogen and an electronegative atom is called a ___ ___. In living cells, the electronegative partners are usually oxygen or nitrogen atoms.
