Answer is: hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.
According to the principle of base pairing hydrogen bonds could form between adenine and thymine (two hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases) and guanine and cytosine (three hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases).
Adenine and guanine are purine derivatives and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine derivates.
Metals are all in the center of the periodic table and are all made up of metals
Bases
A base is a substance that dissociates into more hydroxide ions (-OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases are also good proton acceptors. Bases, therefore, reduce the number of H+ and increase OH- hence raising the pH of the solution.
B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Explanation:
Other properties of bases is that they are bitter to the taste and they feel slippery when touched. Strong bases are nonthlese very corrosive like acids. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Most alkali hydroxides such as NaOH are bases.
