Question
why does hydrogen bond so tightly to oxygen during cellular respiration? (1 point) it is more electronegative than oxygen. it is less electronegative than oxygen. it is electronegative, but oxygen is not. it is not electronegative, but oxygen is.
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. In cellular respiration, this large electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen leads to a strong attraction, forming a tight bond.
