It's an interaction between two hydrogens. of diff e.n. example. in
NH3BH3 , the H bonded to N is electron deficient , whereas the one linked to B is electron rich , thus a bond exists between them.

Read in Wiki , thank you . Anirudh

An illustration of multiple hydrogen bonds (shown in Ncert textbook)

The 2 pink bonds are the h bonds

PS: thanks again akand.....

i think that O is sp2 hybridised hence can form bonds upto 4 so i think that's y it forms 2 hydrogen bonds...
