hydrogen and oxygen form convalent polar bondings, this means that they share valence electrons and still are electrically charged (not as strongly as ionic bonds) An oxygen atom has six valence electrons and bonds with hydrogen atoms that have one valence electron by sharing it with the oxygen atom. in that way all atoms are now stable. but the hydrogen atoms attach to one side of the oxygen atom making a stronger pull that makes that side electrically charde while the other side is positively charged. when many molecules of water are present they stick to each other form their opposite charged sides (positive+negative) hence why they attract each other
What else can I help you with?
Do water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?
Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.
What causes water molecule to be attracted to one on another?
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
What is the relationship between oil and water?
The relationship is that they do not mix. The molecules in water are attracted to each other and will not mix with the oil molecules which are also attracted to each other and therefore will not mix with the water molecules
What kind of bond causes water molecules to be be attracted to one another?
ionic
What property does water show when the molecules are attracted to each other?
Hydrogen Bonds (not actual bonds but strong inter-molecular forces)
Is water hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Water is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to and interacts well with other substances, such as other water molecules or polar molecules.
What are water molecules attracted to?
Water molecules are attracted to other water molecules due to hydrogen bonding, as well as to other polar molecules and ions due to their polarity. This attraction is essential for many biological processes and properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action.
Why oil molecules are not attracted to water molecules in vinegar?
Oil molecules are nonpolar and hydrophobic, meaning they do not have an affinity for water molecules which are polar. This difference in polarity causes oil and water to be immiscible, leading to the separation between the two substances in vinegar.
What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
What property causes water to form beads?
The property that causes water to form beads is called surface tension.
Whta is capillary water?
The capillary effect in water is the tendency for water to travel up a surface such as a tube. It does this because water molecules are attracted to each other which also causes the phenomenon called surface tension.
What property of liquids causes water droplets to form?
Because the water molecules attract each other more strongly than they are attracted to the substances around them. (Cohesion is greater than adhesion).
