In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as _____.

Answer 1

Answer: Option D) covalent bonds between water molecules

In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as covalent bonds between water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are covalent bonds because they are formed when oxygen attract the lone electron in hydrogen, thus resulting in the formation of a partially negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partially positive charge on two hydrogen atoms

Thus, the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms is responsible for the covalent bonds between water molecules
