A single water molecule can make three to four hydrogen bonds. A single water molecule can usually make three hydrogen bonds but in some cases it can make up to four.

Hint: If your high school Biology teacher is asking you this question the number of hydrogen bonds a molecule of water can make is almost always three (just remember one bond for each element).

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.


How many covanlent bonds is oxygen likely to make with hydrogen?

2 covalent bonds: H-O-H. In other words, it makes water.

Which atoms when bonded to hydrogen will form hydrogen bonds?

Atoms that are highly electronegative, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine, when bonded to hydrogen, can form hydrogen bonds due to the large difference in electronegativity between the atoms. Examples of molecules that can form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen include water (H-O-H), ammonia (H-N-H), and hydrogen fluoride (H-F).


What types of bonds does a water molecule have?

One molecule of water (H-O-H) contains two ionic bonds.


What bonds are broken during the combustion of methane CH4 to form water and carbon dioxide?

During the combustion of methane (CH4) to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), the bonds broken are the carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds in methane and the oxygen-oxygen (O=O) bonds in molecular oxygen (O2). These bonds are broken to form new bonds between carbon and oxygen in CO2, and hydrogen and oxygen in H2O.


Which bonds break and which new bonds form?

2H2 + O2 + 2H2O 2H-H + O=O = 2H-O-H..not shaped like this !! The bonds in the reactants break and the bonds in the products form. The bonds in the H2 and O2 break and the bonds in the water form.


What are the 5 propertys of water?

What bonds are broken during the combustion of methane (CH4) form water and carbon dioxide?

All four C-H bonds in methane are broken during combustion.


How many bonds are formed when hydrogen and oxygen combine?

When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, a total of two bonds are formed. One bond is formed between each hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom. This results in the formation of H-O bonds.


How many covalent bonds do oxygen form?

ONE double bond (eg. in oxygen O2: O=O) or TWO single bonds (eg. in water H2O: H-O-H).


How many bonds are formed when hydrogen and oxygen combine to make water?

Two bonds in total. The oxygen atom forms two covalent bonds, one to each of two hydrogen atoms. This can be represented as H - O - H.
