hydrogen bonding can be defined as an attractive force in which the hydrogen atom of one molecule will attract a electronegative atom of anathor molecule , 
its of two types 
1- INTERMOLECULAR H BONDING – this type of bonding take place between molecules of same compound or diffrent compound . 
for example – hydrogen bond between molecule of ammonia . 
2- INTRAMOLECULAR H BONDING – this type of bonding take place between the same molecules 
example – ortho – nitrophenol 
IN VSEPR THEORY , its all about predicting the shape of molecule and its state that the shape of molecule will depend upon its bond pair and lone pair present in the valence shell .
