hydrogen-bonded
Intermolecularly attracted together
Hydrogen-bonded describes molecules or atoms linked by hydrogen bonds—weak attractions between a hydrogen atom attached to an electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) and another electronegative atom nearby.
Water molecules are hydrogen-bonded to each other, which explains water's unusual properties.
The hydrogen-bonded structure of DNA holds the double helix together.
