Question
multiple choice 1 point hydrogen bonds between water molecules are caused by... polarity adhesion neutral charges surface tension
Water is a polar molecule. The oxygen - hydrogen bonds in water result in a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule to be attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule, forming hydrogen bonds. Adhesion is the attraction between different substances, neutral charges do not cause hydrogen - bonding, and surface tension is a result of hydrogen - bonding rather than its cause.
