  • Which statement explains why hydrogen bonds are able to form between water molecules?
    Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules due to the polarity created by the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in partial positive and negative charges.
  • Which property of water is not a result of hydrogen bonds?
    Water's color
  • What type of bonds make water molecules 'stick' to each other?
    Hydrogen bonds make water molecules 'stick' to each other.
  • How do two water molecules most likely interact?
    Through hydrogen bonds.
  • Why do water molecules form hydrogen bonds?
    Water molecules have partial charges due to electronegativity differences.
  • What property of a water molecule allows hydrogen bonds to form among adjacent molecules?
    The polarity of water molecules, due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen, allows hydrogen bonds to form.
  • What is hydrophobic?
    Hydrophobic refers to substances that repel water or do not mix well with water.
  • What are intermolecular forces?
    B) Forces between molecules.
  • Which bond or force would you not expect to occur in the absence of water? A) Ionic bonds B) Covalent bonds C) Hydrogen bonds D) Metallic bonds
    C) Hydrogen bonds.
  • What is the weakest type of intermolecular force?
    London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular force.
