Question

practice it! select the statement that describes what would happen if the oxygen atom of one water molecule came near an oxygen atom of another water molecule. since they are both negative they would push each other away. since they are both positive they would create a weak hydrogen bond. since they are both negative they would create a weak hydrogen bond. since they are both positive they would push each other away.

Explanation:

Oxygen atoms in water molecules are partially - negative due to oxygen's high electronegativity. Like - charged particles repel each other. So, two negatively - charged oxygen atoms of water molecules would push each other away.

Answer:

Since they are both negative they would push each other away.
