Hydrogen Bonding
The most significant force holding water molecules together are the hydrogen bonds. Water also has dipole-dipole forces, and dispersion forces as well.
hydrogen bonding.
Within the molecule itself, water exhibits ionic bonding. Between the water molecules, there is hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogen bonding allows water molecules to stick together. Although it is considered to be a weak bond, the special properties of hydrogen bonding allows water to be useful in MANY different circumstances. Hydrogen bonding in water allows it to be the universal solvent. It also keeps water molecules together so that we have actual water instead of gas (imagine a world without liquid H2O).
Bonding between water molecules is referred to as hydrogen bonds.
heat transfers to the water molecules
The molecules of water are held together by hydrogen bonding between molecules.These are electrostatic bonds (attraction forces between opposite charges) that hydrogen makes with the oxygen of neighbouring molecules. Hydrogen, when bonded to oxygen to form water molecules, is slightly positive and the oxygen in the water molecule is slightly negative. Hydrogen gets attracted to the neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atoms.This is great for life on Earth because small molecules the size of water tend to be gases but water is a liquid. It is a liquid due to the hydrogen bonding between molecules.
Water molecules are bonded together using hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds occur when positive and negative charged parts of the molecules are attracted to the opposite charge in other molecules.
polar covalent bonds make the water molecule and hydrogen bonding attracts other water molecules to each other
allows water molecules to stick together creating cohesion
Hydrogen bonding between the lone pair on the Oxygen and the very positive Hydrogen atoms.
