Question
a bond is formed between water molecules making water stay in a liquid form unless alterations are made. in order to \hold\ water molecules together, there is a bond between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another molecule. what type of bond is being described? lonic covalent hydrogen
Hydrogen bonds occur between a hydrogen atom of one molecule and a highly - electronegative atom (such as oxygen) of another molecule. In water, hydrogen bonds between water molecules keep water in a liquid state under normal conditions. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, and covalent bonds are bonds formed by the sharing of electrons within a molecule. The bond described is between different water molecules and is due to the attraction between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another, which is characteristic of hydrogen bonds.
