Identify the types of intermolecular forces present in water: London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding.
Recall that London dispersion forces are weak forces present in all molecules but are generally the weakest among intermolecular forces.
Understand that dipole-dipole interactions occur between polar molecules due to the attraction between partial positive and partial negative charges.
Recognize that hydrogen bonding is a special, stronger type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
Since water (H\_2O) has hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen, it exhibits hydrogen bonding, which is the primary intermolecular force responsible for its unusually high boiling point compared to other molecules of similar size.
