Question
the bonds within water are the most missed questions on the exam. please make sure you are able to tell me where covalent and hydrogen bonds are at in water. what type of bonds connect the hydrogens to the oxygen in water? (ie: which bonds hold one water molecule together) ionic covalent hydrogen
In a water molecule ($H_2O$), the hydrogen atoms are bonded to the oxygen atom by sharing electrons. This type of electron - sharing bond is a covalent bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, and hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces between water molecules, not the bonds within a single water molecule.
