What is the most important role of hydrogen bonding between water molecules?

The molecules of water are held together by hydrogen bonding between molecules.
These are electrostatic bonds (attraction forces between opposite charges) that hydrogen makes with the oxygen of neighbouring molecules. Hydrogen, when bonded to oxygen to form water molecules, is slightly positive and the oxygen in the water molecule is slightly negative. Hydrogen gets attracted to the neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atoms.
This is great for life on Earth because small molecules the size of water tend to be gases but water is a liquid. It is a liquid due to the hydrogen bonding between molecules.

Type of bonding water molecules exhibit?
Within the molecule itself, water exhibits ionic bonding. Between the water molecules, there is hydrogen bonding.
What is the attractive force between water molecules known as?
This is an intermolecular attraction of water molecules, associated by hydrogen bonds.
What contains water molecules and the hydrogen bonds between water molecules explain most of water's life-supporting properties?
I'm pretty sure it's Hydrogen Bonding. :) -K.
What electron behavior in compounds are found in hydrogen?
Hydrogen has the electron configuration of 1s1 meaning that Hydrogen has only one electron. Because of this, Hydrogen is a moderately reactive substance and behaves atypically both in intermolecular and atomic bonding. The most notable behaviour of Hydrogen is Hydrogen bonding. When hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element, such as Fluorine in HF, the electron density is pulled away from the weak hydrogen atom, leaving the hydrogen almost completely deprived of electrons and a δ+ charge. This induces nearby atoms in other molecules to share their lone pair electrons with the hydrogen, effectively producing a bond similar to a covalent bond, however between molecules. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force and is present in compounds such as water, where the Hδ+ Effectively 'bonds' with the lone pairs of the oxygen atoms in neighbouring molecules, which is why water and ice show unusual properties.
Which of the following would be most likely to contribute to molecules experiencing intermolecular forces?
Hydrogen bonding
What is the most important role of hydrogen bonding between molecules?
Hydrogen bonding enables water molecules to bond to each other.
Why does hydrogen bonding exists between water molecules but not between hydrogen sulfide molecules?
you should know it
What name is given to bonding between water molecules?
Bonding between water molecules is referred to as hydrogen bonds.
What is the most important type of intermolecular forces between molecules in a sample of pure water?
Hydrogen bonding
What are intermolecular hydrogen bonds?
The hydrogen bonding present between the two molecules is known as intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the molecules may be similar or may be dissimilar. The molecules having intermolecular hydrogen bonding have high melting and boiling points and low volatility. They are more soluble in water as compared to the molecules having intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
What interferes with hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
A surfactant.
Is C6h6 capable of hydrogen bonding?
No, hydrogen bonds are not formed between benzene molecules.
Type of bonding water molecules exhibit?
Within the molecule itself, water exhibits ionic bonding. Between the water molecules, there is hydrogen bonding.
Is hydrogen bonding is a type of bonding or not?
Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force of attractionAdded:This is between molecules.It is not as strong as chemical bonding within molecules (intramolecular) though.
What is intramolecular H-Bbonding?
intramolecular hydrogen bonding means hydrogen bonding with in that molecule.there is no interaction with other molecules for hydrogen bonding. very important example is salysilic acid,glycol etc
The weak type of bonding which attracts molecules to molecules is?
Hydrogen bonding
What is the attractive force between water molecules known as?
This is an intermolecular attraction of water molecules, associated by hydrogen bonds.
