Question

A water molecule, shown below, is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom arranged in a bent shape. Since oxygen is significantly more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atoms have a much stronger attraction to shared electrons than hydrogen atoms have. This unequal sharing of electrons and bent shape results in a polar molecule. The oxygen end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge while the hydrogen ends of the molecule have a slightly positive charge. The composition and polar covalent nature of water allow water molecules to form with

Answer 1

Answer & explanation:

These properties allow hydrogen bonds to form, which are interactions that occur when the positive end of water(hydrogen) and the negative end of another element combine, establishing bonds between H₂O and other molecules.

Thus, hydrogen atoms tend to attach to very electronegative atoms, such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), or fluor (F). These bonds usually have very sharp poles due to their strength, requiring a high amount of energy to break the molecules..
