To form DNA molecule, purine bases join to pyrimidine bases by intermolecular bonds termed as hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds take place whenever there is hydrogen near one of such electronegative elements: fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen.

In such situations hydrogen appears as like having lost electrons for such elements and a very strong polarization is made. The extremely positive hydrogen attracts pairs of electrons of other molecules forming a hydrogen bond.
