Multiple Choice
Which type of bond forms between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms within a water molecule?
A
Ionic bond
B
Metallic bond
C
Covalent bond
D
Hydrogen bond
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the types of atoms involved in the bond: Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H).
Understand the nature of the atoms: Oxygen and Hydrogen are both nonmetals.
Recall that when two nonmetals bond, they typically form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Consider the structure of a water molecule (H₂O), where each hydrogen atom shares an electron with the oxygen atom, forming a covalent bond.
Differentiate between intramolecular bonds (covalent bonds within the molecule) and intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen bonds between molecules).
