The dots in the figure represent a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds occur between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (such as oxygen or nitrogen) and another electronegative atom in close proximity. The dashed lines in the figure show the hydrogen bond forming between the hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atoms.
