Question

describe the formation of a hydrogen bond between two molecules of water and explain why water can form these bonds- simple explanation please!

Answer 1

HELLO......

Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Answer 2

Description Of The Formation Of A Hydrogen Bond Between Two Molecules Of Water

• As we know opposite charges attract one another. The partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule attract the partial negative charges on the oxygen atoms of other water molecules. This slight force of attraction is called a hydrogen bond.

Explanation Of Why Water Can Form These Bonds

• A water molecule comprises two atoms of hydrogen fused by covalent bonds to the same atom of oxygen.
• Electronegative atoms of oxygen attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds.
• Accordingly, the electrons in the water molecule consume slightly more time around the oxygen atomic centre and a shorter time around the hydrogen atomic centres.
• The covalent bonds are thus polar, and the oxygen atoms have a minor negative charge due to the presence of extra electron share, while the hydrogens are seldomly positive due to the extra un-neutralized protons.
