Question
draw three molecules of water with hydrogen bonding (make sure to use the 3 dots).
Water (H₂O) has an oxygen atom with two lone - pairs of electrons and two hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen bonding occurs between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom (with its lone - pairs) of another water molecule. We represent the hydrogen bond with three dots (···).

The following is a simple sketch to represent three water molecules with hydrogen bonding:
H - O - H
···
H - O - H
···
H - O - H
(In a more proper Lewis - structure style, the oxygen atom would have its two lone - pairs of electrons shown as pairs of dots around the oxygen atom, but for simplicity of showing the hydrogen - bonding concept here, this basic structure is presented.)
