Question

question 5 (10 points) listen which of the following statements correctly identifies and describes the type of covalent bond found between oxygen and hydrogen in water molecules? polar covalent bonds because hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen hydrogen bonds because hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen polar covalent bonds because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen ionic bonds because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen. When oxygen and hydrogen form bonds in a water molecule, the unequal sharing of electrons creates polar covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces between water molecules, not the intramolecular bonds between O and H. Ionic bonds involve full electron transfer, which does not occur here.

Answer:

polar covalent bonds because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen
