Question

question 23 water molecules are able to form hydrogen bonds with ... compounds that are not soluble in water. compounds that have nonpolar covalent bonds. oxygen gas (o2) molecules. methane gas (ch4) molecules. compounds that have polar covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly - electronegative atom (such as O, N, or F) and another electronegative atom. Water is a polar molecule. Compounds with polar covalent bonds can interact with water through hydrogen - bonding. Non - polar compounds and those insoluble in water do not readily form hydrogen bonds with water. Oxygen gas and methane gas are non - polar and do not form hydrogen bonds with water.

Answer:

E. compounds that have polar covalent bonds
