Question

multiple choice question identify the type of bond, labeled as a, in the given image. ionic bond pi bond hydrogen bond sigma bond

Explanation:

The image shows water - water interactions. A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force that occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and is attracted to another electronegative atom in a neighboring molecule. In water, the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule are attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule, forming hydrogen bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions. Pi bonds and sigma bonds are types of covalent bonds within a molecule, not intermolecular forces like the one shown here.

Answer:

Hydrogen bond
