What holds water molecules far apart from each other?
The bonds that hold water molecules far apart from each other are ice. The hydrogen bonds' postulation in ice keeps them far apart from one another.
What are the weak chemical attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.
What type of bonds hold separate water molecules together?
Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules to each other. They're the strongest of the Van der Waal's forces.
Do water molecules attract other polar molecules through adhesion cohesion peptide bonds ionic bonds?
adhesion
What is the most significant force that attracts water molecules to each other?
Hydrogen bonding.
What holds water molecules far apart from each other?
The bonds that hold water molecules far apart from each other are ice. The hydrogen bonds' postulation in ice keeps them far apart from one another.
What bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules?
hydrogen bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules.
What happens to the packing of the molecules when water turns from ice to water?
The Molecules(Atoms) stretch their bonds so they spread further apart from each other.
Water molecules are bonded to other water molecules because of the presence of what bonds?
Hydrogen bonds.
What kind of bonding does water make?
Water is composed of molecular bonds, but forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are not actual bonds, but they cause an attraction between the water molecules, which is why water is adhesive.
What are the weak chemical attraction between water molecules?
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.
What happens to the water molecules that cause ice to float?
When water freezes, rigid hydrogen bonds between water molecules are formed. Each Oxygen atom in the ice lattice has 4 bonds. 2 covalently bonded hydrogen atoms, and 2 hydrogen bonds ('H-Bonds'). These hydrogen bonds are slightly longer than the covalent bonds, and hold the H2O molecules apart. When the ice melts, the rigid hydrogen bonds collapse and molecules move closer together. Normally when solids melt, the molecules move slightly further apart, and hence the liquid is less dense than the solid.
What kind of bond does water commonly make?
Water is composed of molecular bonds, but forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are not actual bonds, but they cause an attraction between the water molecules, which is why water is adhesive.
What type of bonds hold separate water molecules together?
Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules to each other. They're the strongest of the Van der Waal's forces.
Three similarities between water and ethanol?
Water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
Do water molecules attract other polar molecules through adhesion cohesion peptide bonds ionic bonds?
adhesion
Why is density of ice is less than that water?
Ice is less dense than water because as water cools and becomes a solid (freezes), hydrogen bonds form between the water molecules. In the liquid phase of water, the molecules "snuggle up" to each other in the fluid. But as water goes solid, the hydrogen bonds dictate that the molecules will have to "stop snuggling" and move apart a bit as those hydrogen bonds set up spacing in the now-solid molecules. Ice has become less dense than the water that it formed from because the hydrogen bonds, which begin forming at just above 0 °C, force the molecules apart a bit to form the solid (ice) matrix.
