Question

which statement explains why hydrogen bonds are able to form between water molecules? water molecules show adhesion. water molecules are polar. water molecule atoms have weak atomic bonds. water molecules are large.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules due to their polarity. The oxygen - hydrogen bonds in water are polar, with oxygen being more electronegative, creating partial positive and negative charges. These charges allow hydrogen bonds to form. Adhesion is a different property, water molecules are not large in a relevant sense here, and the atomic bonds within water are not weak.

Answer:

Water molecules are polar.
