Question

multiple choice question the oxygen and hydrogen atoms of a water molecule have weak, opposite charges that create electrical interactions called the ______. van der waals forces ionic bonds hydrogen bonds hydrophobic interactions

Explanation:

In a water molecule, the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge and hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges. These weak, opposite - charged interactions between water molecules are hydrogen bonds. Van der Waals forces are more general intermolecular forces. Ionic bonds are strong bonds between ions. Hydrophobic interactions are related to non - polar substances avoiding water.

Answer:

C. hydrogen bonds
