Because each hydrogen atom can form a hydrogen bond to an oxygen atom in another water molecule and each oxygen atom has two nonbonding electron pairs, each water molecule can form a maximum of four hydrogen bonds to four other water molecules. The result is a tetrahedral cluster of water molecules around the central water molecule. :)
None. Hydrogen only has ONE electron.
Type your answer here...oxy-hydrogen
saturated molecule

Ammonia can form four hydrogen bonds per molecule. The lone pair on nitrogen can accept one hydrogen to form a hydrogen bond, and the three hydrogen atoms can bond to lone pairs to form three additional hydrogen bonds. However, if ammonia is the only molecule present, this bonding pattern is problematic because each molecule only has one lone pair per three hydrogen atoms. Thus, an average molecule would likely only have two hydrogen bonds, out of the maximum of four.
If a fatty acid contains the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms bound to it, it is a saturated fat. That is the kind that clogs your arteries and causes you to have heart attacks.

They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

We know that methane is saturated, because carbon can form a maximum of four bonds, and methane is a molecule in which a carbon atom is bound to four hydrogen atoms, so it has reached its limit.
