<span>Kind of substance besides water:
The best example of hydrogen bonding excluding water is DNA. The two strands of polymers are connected by hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases</span>.
The choices for this are as follows:
A) gases; solids
B) metals; nonmetals
C) nonmetals; metals
<span>D) reactive; nonreactive
</span>
I think the correct answer is option B. The stair-step line between the pink squares and the yellow squares separates the metals from the nonmetals. Hope this helps.
