Question

In a sample of liquid water (h2o), which property differs among the water molecules? number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms bond strengths orientation in space arrangement of hydrogen and oxygen atoms

Answer 1

orientation in space (the bond strengths, # of H and O atoms, and arrangements of the atoms will always be the same for every water molecule)

Answer 2

Answer:

orientation in space

Explanation:

In every water molecule there are two H atoms and one O atom. Also each water molecule has two O-H bonds, which is a polar covalent bond and has the same bond strength in every water molecule. Every water molecule has a bent shape with O being the central atom that has a lone pair of electron and two H atoms attached to it. However, the orientation of each water molecule with respect to each other in space is different.
