Question

part c
an individual water molecule is held together by polar covalent bonds. multiple water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. if water spills from a glass onto your desktop, which bonds are broken?
○ hydrogen bonds
○ polar covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds
○ polar covalent bonds
○ no bonds are broken.

Explanation:

When water spills from a glass onto a desktop, the water molecules are separating from each other. The forces that hold multiple water - molecules together are hydrogen bonds. Polar covalent bonds hold the atoms within an individual water molecule together and are not broken during this process of spilling. So, the broken bonds are hydrogen bonds.

Answer:

A. hydrogen bonds
