Describe what occurs between water molecules in hydrogen bonding. Draw a diagram, labeling the hydrogen bond.
1 answer:
Answer:
The molecules are attracted to their less negative side.
Explanation:
The Oxygen in the water molecule will share or the hydrogens lone atom leaving the hydrogen with a more positive charge like in the picture I've added. This happens with all water molecules leaving the oxygen with more electrons and ultimately the more negative side. And positive and negative forces attract, so the now "positive" hydrogens will bond with the now "negative" oxygens. They form bonds using polarity, and use a very strong dipole dipole effect.
