Its a weaker bond than covalent or ionic bonding. Its call Hydrogen Bonding. Do to the configuration of H20 positive and negative charges occur on the molecule. So specific areas such as the oxygen(w/ a slight negative charge) will attract to a hydrogen(w/ a slight positive charge) on a different H20 molecule. You can observer this phenomenon by observing that water has a surface tension.

What weak fleeting bonds are adjacent water molecules attracted to?
hydrogen
What condition exists when you have a high concentration of molecules in one place and a low concentration in an adjacent place?
Concentration Gradient
What type of molecules are NAD and FAD?
water molecules
Water molecules are bonded to other water molecules because of the presence of what bonds?
Hydrogen bonds.
What types of molecules are insoluble in water?
Hydrophobic molecules are insoluble in water. These include oils and grease.
Adjacent water molecules other names?
adjacent water molecules are also known as Polar Covalent Bonds.
What weak fleeting bonds are adjacent water molecules attracted to?
hydrogen
When calcium chloride is dissolved in water to which end of the adjacent water molecules will a calcium ion be attracted?
The oxygen end, which is the negative pole.
How water is connted?
The water is connected by hydrogen bonds. The water molecules are surround by four total of other molecules. They are arranged in hydrogen bonded rings or chains.
How do water molecules act like '' little magnets''?
because its connected to the oxygen
Weak bonds forming a bridge between water molecules are called?
Adjacent water molecules are connected by the electrical attraction between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule. This type of bonding is called hydrogen bonding.
Are molecules in hot water different then molecules in cold water?
If you have the same volume of both then there are in cold water more molecules.
What property of water is the same after it evaporates?
The chemical structure of the molecules. 2 Hydrogen connected by one Oxygen
What is the state of matter where molecules are in the same place but aren't joined?
A liquid has adjacent molecules that are not locked into place.
Adjacent water molecules are held together by bonds?
The intermolecular force that hold together adjacent water molecules are hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular forces, but it is still relatively weak compared to ionic and covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonds occur because of the large difference between hydrogen atoms and the highly electronegative atoms such as F, N and O.
In amylopectin the glucose molecules are connected by?
Glucose molecules are connected by an oxygen bridge generally known as Glycosidic linkage.
Why is the boiling point of water is higher than hydrogen fluoride?
The two hydrogen-oxygen bonds in a water molecule allow it to form more hydrogen bonds with adjacent molecules than hydrogen fluoride can with its one hydrogen-fluorine bond. As a result, water has a stronger attraction between molecules.
