In a Single Molecule of Water,two Hydrogen Atoms are Bonded

Question

In a single molecule of water,two hydrogen atoms are bonded to a single oxygen atom by
A)hydrogen bonds.
B)nonpolar covalent bonds.
C)polar covalent bonds.
D)ionic bonds.
E)van der Waals interactions.

Accepted Answer

In water molecule, the shared electrons between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are not equally shared, which creates a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. This results in a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.
