multiple choice question
water molecules are weakly attracted to each other through ______ bonds.
hydrogen
polar covalent
ionic
nonpolar covalent
Water molecules have a partial - positive hydrogen end and a partial - negative oxygen end. The weak attraction between water molecules is due to hydrogen bonds, which form between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another. Polar covalent bonds are within a water molecule (between H and O), ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, and non - polar covalent bonds have equal sharing of electrons.
