What is hydrogen bonding and what effect does it have on water?

Hydrogen bonding is a weak electrostatic attraction between a covalently bonded H on one atom with an electronegative atom in another molecule. In water this is a bond between the H of one H2O molecule and the O of another. The effects are remarkable. Boiling point and melting point are much higher than you'd expect (compare H2S) the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

Is water fluid because of hydrogen or covalent bonding?
Hydrogen bonding
Is hydrogen bonding strongest between molecules of H20 H2S H2Se or H2Te?
Hydrogen fluoride HF has the strongest hydrogen bonding. Water H2O and ammonia NH3 have the next strongest hydrogen bonding.
Why is the density of water less in Cyclohexene?
Yes, water is denser than cyclohexene due to hydrogen bonding.
What of kind of bonds are found in water molecules?
hydrogen bonding between H2O and covalent bonding within the H2O molecule
What is the weakest type of bond and is involved in the bonding of water?
Water molecules are associated by hydrogen bonds but I suppose that these bonds are not the weakest.

Hydrogen bonding
What is the biological effect of the hydrogen bonding between molecules of water?
living things can survive in the water beneath a lakes frozen surface
Which is a biological effect of the hydrogen bonding between molecule of water?
living things can survive in the water beneath a lake's frozen surface

Which molecule will not exhibit hydrogen bonding?
FON Remember this as it mean only hydrogen bonded to fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen will exhibit hydrogen bonding H2O ( water ) = hydrogen bonding as hydrogen is bonded to oxygen CO ( carbon monoxide ) = no hydrogen bonding Think electronegative differences.
What property of water allows it to move up through a plant?
hydrogen bonding
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 a factor for H20?
greatly...its what gives water its unique properties
