Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, meaning that in a water molecule the oxygen will carry a partial negative charge and the hydrogens will carry a partial positive charge.
This allows the (partially negative) oxygen to bind to the (partially positive) hydrogen of another water molecule.
The hydrogen bond is between a hydrogen atom of a molecule of water and the oxygen atom of another molecule of water.
Two oxygen molecules and one hydrogen molecule.
A hydrogen bond forms between the hydrogen(s) of one water molecule, and the oxygen molecule of another water molecule.
Is an example of hydrogen bonding.
yes
a hydrogen bond

A water molecule is a type of polar molecule. It has two oxygen and hydrogen dipoles that do not cancel out one another.
Every 1 water molecule is capable of forming 1 molecule of hydrogen gas. This happens when the oxygen from the water binds with the oxygen from another water molecule.
The water molecule can be broken up into hydrogen and oxygen by means of electrolysis.
The polarity of the water molecule
Any molecule that contains both hydrogen and oxygen can be split into its component parts. Simple H2O, water, is the simplest. H2O2, hydrogen peroxide, is another example.
