Question
question 7 1 pts hydrogen bonds form between neighboring water molecules because of: electron sharing. the polarity of water molecules. electron transfer. the viscosity of water. surface tension.
Water is a polar molecule. The oxygen - end has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen - end has a partial positive charge. This polarity allows hydrogen bonds to form between neighboring water molecules, where the partially positive hydrogen of one water molecule is attracted to the partially negative oxygen of another water molecule. Electron sharing is related to covalent bonds, electron transfer to ionic bonds, and viscosity and surface tension are consequences of hydrogen - bonding rather than the cause.
