Question
- what kind of bond holds the hydrogen to the oxygen in one water molecule? 4. what kind of bonds can hold two separate water molecules together?
Response
Question 3
Brief Explanations
In a water molecule ($H_2O$), the bond between hydrogen and oxygen within the same molecule is a covalent bond. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. Oxygen and hydrogen share electrons to achieve stable electron configurations.
Brief Explanations
Two separate water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force that occurs when a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen in water) is attracted to another electronegative atom (oxygen of another water molecule).
