What the F are you arguing with here?
No one is saying chemical bonds don't have an electrostatic nature! Normally people differentiate between IONIC bonds and COVALENT bonds.
But when you took Mainframes to task over the H-H bond in H2 and indicated it is a "hydrogen bond" that is where I drew the line.
"Hydrogen bonds" are NOT the same as covalent bonds. They simply aren't.
Bonds between two hydrogen molecules are COVALENT BONDS DUE TO THE SHARING OF THE 1s ELECTRONS.
"Hydrogen bonds" on the other hand are electrostatic attractions between two molecules with dipole moments as we see between two different water molecules.
What are you on about? Honestly.
Because you totally ignored what I said earlier.

That electrostatic interaction between the dipoles of water molecules, is the same electrostatic force between electrons and the nucleus. In dipole bonds the electrons are already bound and can not share in this bond, but the internal charges can, and do. It is simply a weaker bond when between quarks and other quarks in different atoms. That's what that dipole moment is, let's not forget that shall we?
Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In physics, the electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges in a system of electric charges, that is, a measure of the charge system's overall polarity."
That you refuse to accept science is a wonder above all wonders.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity
"In chemistry, polarity refers to a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole or multipole moment. Polar molecules interact through dipole–dipole intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonds."
But if you knew what that meant you wouldn't be so confused.
