question 15 2 pts which of the following explains most specifically the attraction of water molecules to one another? ionic bonds hydrogen bonds polar covalent bonds nonpolar covalent bonds hydrophobic bonds
Water molecules have a bent shape with a partial - positive charge on hydrogen and partial - negative charge on oxygen. Hydrogen bonds form between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another water molecule, which is the specific intermolecular force responsible for water - water attraction. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between ions, polar covalent bonds are within a single water molecule, nonpolar covalent bonds have equal electron - sharing, and hydrophobic bonds are related to non - polar substances' repulsion of water.
