Question

1. How does hydrogen bonding affect water molecules?

A Hydrogen bonding holds two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom in a
water molecule.
B Hydrogen bonding causes the polarity and bent angle of a water
molecule.
C Hydrogen bonding is the main force that attracts water molecules to
one another.

Answer 1

C Hydrogen bonding is the main force that attracts water molecules to

one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bonding affects water molecules because, it is the main force which holds and attracts water molecules to one another.

• Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force.
• Intermolecular forces holds molecules together. Examples are van der waals forces, hydrogen bonding.
• In a hydrogen bonding, hydrogen of one molecule electrostatically combines with a more electronegative specie usually nitrogen, flourine and oxygen on another atom.
• This attraction results in hydrogen bonding between two or more molecules.
• The unique and anomalous behavior of water is as a result of these hydrogen bonds between its molecules.
