Step-by-step explanation:

Water molecules form hydrogen bonding when the oxygen of one water molecule combines with the hydrogen of another molecule.

Hydrogen bonding is an electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of a neighboring molecule.

  • This bond is made possible by the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen for water molecules.
  • The intermolecular forces is responsible for the physical and chemical properties of water.
