Question
which results from waters formation of hydrogen bonds? water has surface tension. hydrogen and oxygen form ionic bonds. water is a versatile solvent. the specific heat of water is lower than most solids.
Hydrogen - bonding in water causes surface tension. Water molecules at the surface are more strongly attracted to each other due to hydrogen bonds, creating a 'skin - like' effect. Hydrogen and oxygen in water form covalent bonds, not ionic bonds. Water being a versatile solvent is due to its polarity, not just hydrogen - bonding. The specific heat of water is higher than most solids because of hydrogen - bonding.
