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.

Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:

22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol

The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:

3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol

The percentage composition by mass is:

47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)
