Which of the statements describe hydrogen bonding between water molecules? Describe properties of water that lead to hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
A water molecule is polar because of its bent structure, and its shared electrons are more attracted to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen atoms. The slightly positive hydrogen atom attracts the slightly negative oxygen atom within a single water molecule. A water molecule is nonpolar because it has a linear structure, and the shared electrons are equally attracted to the oxygen atom and the hydrogen atoms. The slightly negative oxygen atom of one water molecule attracts the slightly positive hydrogen atom of another water molecule.
