Question
water molecules are connected to other water molecules by _____________ bonds. (ie: which bonds hold two different water molecules together?)
ionic
hydrogen
covalent
Water molecules have a polar nature. The hydrogen - bonded to oxygen in one water molecule is attracted to the oxygen of another water molecule, forming hydrogen bonds between different water molecules. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between ions, and covalent bonds are within a single water molecule (between hydrogen and oxygen), not between different water molecules.
