Question

question 1 - 2
hydrogen bonding is responsible for unique properties of water. which correctly describes a hydrogen bond between two water molecules?
a hydrogen bond forms between the oxygen atom and hydrogen atom within the same water molecule
a hydrogen bond forms between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of a different water molecule
a hydrogen bond forms between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and a hydrogen atom of a different water molecule
a hydrogen bond forms between a hydrogen atom of one water molecule and a hydrogen atom of a different water molecule

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A hydrogen - bond is an intermolecular force. In water, it forms between the highly electronegative oxygen atom of one water molecule and the hydrogen atom of a different water molecule. This is due to the polarity of water molecules, where oxygen has a partial negative charge and hydrogen has a partial positive charge.

Answer:

C. A hydrogen bond forms between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and a hydrogen atom of a different water molecule
