Question

1. The model shows water molecules

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxygen atoms in water molecules are also attracted to hydrogen atoms in other water molecules.

Explanation:

If you are referring to the picture attached and the choices given:

• Hydrogen atoms in water molecules are only attracted to other hydrogen atoms.

• Oxygen atoms in water molecules are attracted to both oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms.

• Oxygen atoms in water molecules are also attracted to hydrogen atoms in other water molecules.

• Hydrogen atoms in water molecules are only attracted to an oxygen atom in the same water molecules.

What you can see there is what we call hydrogen bonding. The oxygen atoms are attracting the hydrogen of other water molecules. This type of bond forms in liquid water. Oxygen atoms of a water molecule are kind of negatively charged and can attract the partially positively charged hydrogen atoms of other water molecules.
