What type of bond is found in a water molocule?

Answer 1

Hydrogen bonds are found between water molecules.

Hydrogen bonds are the electrostatic attraction (i.e. attraction between a positive charge and a negative one) between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine.

So in water, the attraction is between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atom.

This is due to the electronegativity of oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen, which have a high electronegativity. In water, there are two bonds in each molecule, each linking one hydrogen to the oxygen atom. The electrons have less of an attraction to the hydrogen, and so the electron cloud is distorted in favour of the oxygen. So, as there are more electrons present near the oxygen relative to the hydrogen, the oxygen is more negative relative to the hydrogen, so causing polarity. Then, there is electorstatic attraction to neighbouring hydrogen or oxygen atoms.

Answer 2

hydrogen bonds. In water, the 2 hydrogen atoms are slightly positive while the oxygen is slightly negative. The two hydrogen atoms will align themselves at one end of the oxygen atom making that side of the molecule slightly polar positive and the side without the hydrogen ions slightly polar negative. Thus, when two H2O molecules are next to each other, the slightly negative side of one molecule is attracted to the slightly positive side of the other water molecule and this attraction is called a hydrogen bond.

Answer 3

water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom.

Answer 4

There is a covalent bond beween the oxygen atom and each of the hydrogen atoms. This bond is polar. other types of bonding can occur- covalent and ionic.

Answer 5

Hydrogen bonds

Answer 6

Hydrogen bond

Answer 7

Polar covalent bond between O and H.
