What can be attributed to the polarity of the water molecule?

Answer 1

· Hydrogen bonds

· Weak bonds that form due to the polarity of the water molecule

· Cohesion

· Attraction of molecules to the same substance

· Adhesion

· Attraction of molecules to different substances

Answer 2

Water is polar because of the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen. The highly electronegative oxygen atom attracts electrons or negative charge to it, making the region around the oxygen more negative than the areas around the two hydrogen atoms.

Answer 3

The polarity of the water molecule is attributed to the unequal sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, making the oxygen end slightly negative and the hydrogen end slightly positive. This creates a dipole moment, resulting in hydrogen bonding between water molecules and giving water its unique properties like cohesion, adhesion, and high surface tension.

Answer 4

Yes, the properties of water are due to the polarity of the water molecule. water is cohesive because the Hydrogen end of the water molecule is attracted to the Oxygen end of other molecules.

Answer 5

the electronegatitivity difference between the H and the O atoms lead to the polarity of the water molecules and therefore its bent structure

Answer 6

yes, it is formed at an angle, so the charges pull in different directions

Answer 7

Cohesion and adhesion.

Answer 8

Hydrogen Bonding
