Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules and are relatively weak because there is actually no transferring or sharing of electrons. It would takes much less energy to break hydrogen bonds between water molecules than it does to break the molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.

What is the type of bond that forms the water molecule?

The weak bond that exists between water molecules is called a hydrogen bond. In a water molecule, H2O, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom. Because the oxygen atom is so much larger than the hydrogen atoms, it is more electronegative and holds the electrons more tightly. Because of this, the oxygen atom develops a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms develop a slightly positive charge. This causes the water molecule to be polar, like a bar magnet. Weak attractions (hydrogen bonds) form between adjacent water molecules, so that the slightly negative oxygen atom forms a weak bond with a slightly positive hydrogen atom.


Is a hydrogen bond a weak bond that is formed when a hydrogen atom covaleny bonds to one electronegative atom?

Yes it is a weak bond because the force of attraction is weak.


Are hydrogen bonds weak bonds that form between water molecules in liquid form?

Yes, H-bonds are weak bonds. The hydrogen bond is approximately 30 times weaker than a normal covalent bond.


The weak chemical attraction between water molecules is a while the stronger chemical bond between the atom of each water molecule is a?

the weak chemical attraction is Hydroden bond while the stronger one is the Ionic bond


Is HF a weak bond?

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) forms a strong bond due to the high electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine. The bond is highly polarized, making it strong compared to other hydrogen halides. So, HF is not considered a weak bond.


In both liquid water and ice a hydrogen bond forms between .?

Oxygen atoms. The hydrogen bond is a weak attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative oxygen atom within the water molecule. This bond gives water its unique properties such as high boiling and melting points.
