Question
which bonds are found inside a water molecule, between hydrogen and oxygen?
○ hydrogen bonds
○ electronegative bonds
○ proton bonds
○ covalent bonds
Hydrogen bonds form between separate water molecules, not within a single one. "Electronegative bonds" is not a recognized bond type; electronegativity is a property that influences bonding. Proton bonds do not describe the link between H and O in water. A water molecule ($H_2O$) forms when oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms, which is the definition of a covalent bond.
