The hydrogen atom of one water molecule, with its partial positive charge, is attracted to the oxygen atom of a neighboring water molecule, with its partial negative charge, forming a hydrogen bond.
It's due to the structure of the Oxygen part of the water molecule: when two hydrogen atoms join oxygen to form water, their placemrnt is non-symetrical ... instead of attaching to opposite sides of the oxygen, both hydrogens join to one side of the oxygen [ it looks more like a mickey-mouse hat than the rings of Saturn].
This results in a polarity in the water molecule; negative on the oxygen side and positive on the hydrogen side.
In the water molecule (H2O), the oxygen maintains a greater pull on the bonded electrons so that the O is slightly more negative than either of the Hs. Thus other molecule's Hs are pulled to the Os in yet other molecules, creating hydrogen bonds.
A water molecule has two partially positive hydrogen atoms which will be attracted to lone electron pairs on an electronegative atom (nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) in another molecule and has two lone electron pair that can attract hydrogen atoms bonded to an electronegative atom
the bonds that hold together the atom in a water molecule are polar covalent bonds
the bonds that hold together the atoms in a water molecule are polar covalent bonds.
its protons and the electrons have a chemical bond together
The polarity of H2O molecule
Strong hydrogen bonds.
The bond between water molecules is known as a hydrogen bond.
They're called hydrogen bonds. It's a bond between the positive hydrogen and the negative oxygen in the water molecule. While the bond isn't as strong as the other three bonds (metallic, ionic, covalent), its strength gives water its surface tension and cohesion properties, as well as causing ice to float.
Hydrogen bonds
Water is composed of molecular bonds, but forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are not actual bonds, but they cause an attraction between the water molecules, which is why water is adhesive.
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
Strong hydrogen bonds as the Oxygen is really electronegative and the hydrogen is really unelectronegative. The hydrogen bonds to the oxygen of another molecule.
Strong hydrogen bonds.
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
it forms strong bonds with itself and with hydrogen
Hydrogen Bonds (not actual bonds but strong inter-molecular forces)
Hydrogen bonds are not the weakest bonds.
Intermolecular bonds of water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
The bond between water molecules is known as a hydrogen bond.
the bond is strong
No they are significantly weaker.
They're called hydrogen bonds. It's a bond between the positive hydrogen and the negative oxygen in the water molecule. While the bond isn't as strong as the other three bonds (metallic, ionic, covalent), its strength gives water its surface tension and cohesion properties, as well as causing ice to float.
