question 18
in an aqueous solution, water molecules associate with one another through which of the following?
hydrogen bonds
ionic bonds
polar covalent bonds
covalent bonds
van der waals interactions

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Water molecules have a bent - shape and are polar. The hydrogen atom of one water molecule is attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule, forming hydrogen bonds. Ionic bonds are between ions, polar covalent and covalent bonds are within a molecule, and van der Waals interactions are weaker and not the main force between water molecules in an aqueous solution.

Answer:

hydrogen bonds
