Question

the relatively weak ________ bonding between neighboring water molecules creates the surface tension responsible for the shape of water droplets.

covalent
metallic
hydrogen
ionic

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are relatively weak intermolecular forces between water molecules. They contribute to surface - tension, which gives water droplets their shape. Covalent bonds are within water molecules, not between them. Metallic bonds are in metals. Ionic bonds are between ions, not relevant here.

Answer:

C. hydrogen
