Question

1. contrast identify a difference between the covalent bonds within a water molecule and the hydrogen bonds that form between different water molecules.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds in a water molecule are intramolecular, formed by sharing electrons between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules are intermolecular, a weak electrostatic - attraction between a hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another. Covalent bonds are stronger and hold the atoms within a single water molecule together, while hydrogen bonds are weaker and are responsible for properties like water's high boiling point and surface tension.

Answer:

Covalent bonds within a water molecule are intramolecular and formed by electron - sharing between atoms, while hydrogen bonds between water molecules are intermolecular and are weak electrostatic attractions. Covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds.
