select the true statements. an intermolecular force is a covalent bond. hydrogen bonding only occurs between water molecules. oxygen atoms in water have a slightly positive charge. a hydrogen bond forms between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom of two different water molecules.

select the true statements. an intermolecular force is a covalent bond. hydrogen bonding only occurs between water molecules. oxygen atoms in water have a slightly positive charge. a hydrogen bond forms between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom of two different water molecules.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. An intermolecular force is not a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are intramolecular, holding atoms within a molecule together, while intermolecular forces act between different molecules.
  2. Hydrogen - bonding occurs between molecules that have a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as N, O, or F), not just between water molecules.
  3. In water, oxygen atoms have a slightly negative charge due to their higher electronegativity compared to hydrogen.
  4. A hydrogen bond indeed forms between a hydrogen atom of one water molecule and an oxygen atom of another water molecule. This is due to the partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen in water molecules.

Answer:

None of the above statements are true.
