Water molecules attract one another to form hydrogen bonds due to their polar nature, where the positive hydrogen atoms are attracted to the negative oxygen atoms of other water molecules. These bonds are weaker than covalent bonds but are significant because many such bonds exist in water, giving it unique properties. The formation of hydrogen bonds is essential for many biological processes.
