The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is covalent, involving a shared pair pf electrons. The bond is polar, with the hydrogen being slightly positively charged and the oxygen slightly negative, Backus of the difference in electronegativity between O and H. The hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between the positively charged H and the negatively charged oxygen atom of another water molecule

What are the bonds that connect the hydrogen molecules to the oxygen molecules?

The bonds that connect hydrogen molecules to oxygen molecules in water are covalent bonds. In a water molecule, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom by sharing electrons.


How is a hydrogen bonds different from the convalent bonds that connect each water molcule's atoms?

covalent bond is the sharing of 2 electrons form each atom while in hydrogen bond there is no sharing of electrons. Hydrogen bond is partial bond due to attraction of Hydrogen atom with negative charge of other molecule so it is having only electrostatic attarction.

What is the difference between intra-molecular bonding and inter-molecular interaction?

Intermolecular is the bonding between the molecules (what connects them all together) For example dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding (HFON)Intramolecular is the bonding between the atoms like ionic covalent or metallic.For example in a water molecule the intermolecular bonding would be the hydrogen bonding. The non-bonding pairs will connect with other water molecules non-bonding pairs to create a hydrogen bond. Whereas the intramolecular bonding would be covalent. Because that's what joins the individual hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.

Do covalent bonds join DNA sugar phosphate backbones?

Yes, the sugar and phosphate that make up the DNA backbone are joined together with covalent bonds. These bonds are stronger than the hydrogen bonds which join the bases from different strands together.
