Question
are constantly broken and reformed as water molecules slide past each other. the model shows the water molecules interacting with each other. complete the sentence. a slightly oxygen atom in a water molecule forms a bond with a slightly hydrogen atom in another water molecule.
In water molecules, oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. This causes the oxygen atom to have a partial negative charge ($\delta^-$) and the hydrogen atom to have a partial positive charge ($\delta^+$). The attraction between the slightly negative oxygen atom of one water - molecule and the slightly positive hydrogen atom of another water molecule is a hydrogen bond.
