"The partial positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a partial negative atom in another molecule experience attraction."

Explanation: when H is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, F), H becomes partially positive and is attracted to a lone pair on a nearby electronegative atom (partial negative), forming a hydrogen bond.
