How does hydrogen bonding, as a special case of dipole-dipole intermolecular forces, contribute to the overall strength of intermolecular interactions?

Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that occurs when hydrogen atoms are bonded to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. This creates a strong attraction between molecules, making them stick together more tightly. This extra bonding strength from hydrogen bonds enhances the overall intermolecular interactions, making substances like water have higher boiling points and surface tensions compared to similar molecules without hydrogen bonding.
