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
A is incorrect because Mg has a 2+ charge, while SO4 has a 2- charge, if there is 2 Mg and 3 SO4 then the formula will not add to 0 meaning neutral
