How and why do the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in water differ from bonds between hydrogen and carbon?

∙ 11y ago
Hydrogen bonding exists between hydrogen and oxygen in water, becuase of the huge electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. This arises, due to the huge electron affinity of oxygen. Such interaction is not possible between carbon and hydrogen, as athe carbon is not as electronegative as oxygen.

What is more polar a carbon hydrogen bond or a carbon oxygen bond?
A carbon-oxygen bond is more polar than a carbon-hydrogen bond, because the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen.
After hydrogen and oxygen which element makes up almost all of the most common substances in your body?
Carbon, which actually comes between oxygen and hydrogen.
What elements are found in carbs?
Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen.It is easy to remember by breaking down the word. Carbois for Carbon. Hyd is for Hydrogen and ate means Oxygen is present.
What elements are in lipids?
Lipids are compounds, not elements. Most lipids are triacyl esters of glycerol and fatty acids. They consist of three elements mostly: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. (Sometimes Nitrogen and/or Phosphorous may be included as well)
Chemical elements of fats?
Normally only Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen They are effectively hydrocarbon chains held together by ester bonds ("oxygen joints")

What bond is between carbon and hydrogen or oxygen and hydrogen?
Covalent
What are three elements that are in carbohydrate?
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen ine the ratio of 1:2:1
What elements does alcohol contain?
