Question

question 12 (1 point) why is water able to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules? a water is a universal solvent b water has high surface tension c water is polar d water is nonpolar

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Hydrogen bonds form in water due to its polar nature. The oxygen - hydrogen bonds in water are polar, with oxygen being more electronegative, creating partial positive and negative charges. This polarity allows hydrogen atoms of one water molecule to be attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule, forming hydrogen bonds.

Answer:

B. Water is polar
