Oxygen and hydrogen bond well due to their electronegativity difference, with oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogen. This creates a polar covalent bond, where oxygen pulls in the shared electrons closer to itself, creating a slightly negative charge on oxygen and a slightly positive charge on hydrogen. This attraction between the partially positive hydrogen and partially negative oxygen forms a strong hydrogen bond.
What else can I help you with?
Why is oxygen gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2 and not hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen has a much lower attraction for electrons than oxygen does (or in more technical terms, oxygen has a much higher electronegativity). So when hydrogen gives up an electron to oxygen, it creates a strong chemical bond (although not an ionic bond; hydrogen's electronegativity is too high for that). When hydrogen peroxide gives up excess oxygen, the hydrogen remains bonded to the remaining oxygen (since hydrogen peroxide becomes water, H2O). If instead the hydrogen peroxide were to give up hydrogen, you would lose the powerful bond between hydrogen and oxygen, and all you would get in exchange would be a much weaker bond between hydrogen atoms and other hydrogen atoms, in the diatomic hydrogen molecule. Chemical reactions move in the direction of the strongest available bonds.
Is a hydrogen bond a polar covalent bond?
No, a hydrogen bond is not a covalent bond at all. It is a type of intermolecular bond that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom like oxygen or nitrogen. This results in a relatively weak attraction between the hydrogen and another electronegative atom.
What kind of bond is there between two hydrogen atoms?
Assuming you are referring to only two hydrogen atoms, such as in a sample of hydrogen gas, there is a covalent bond between the hydrogen atoms, as well as a small amount of dispersion forces.
What type of bond is found in a water molocule?
Hydrogen bonds are found between water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are the electrostatic attraction (i.e. attraction between a positive charge and a negative one) between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine. So in water, the attraction is between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atom. This is due to the electronegativity of oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen, which have a high electronegativity. In water, there are two bonds in each molecule, each linking one hydrogen to the oxygen atom. The electrons have less of an attraction to the hydrogen, and so the electron cloud is distorted in favour of the oxygen. So, as there are more electrons present near the oxygen relative to the hydrogen, the oxygen is more negative relative to the hydrogen, so causing polarity. Then, there is electorstatic attraction to neighbouring hydrogen or oxygen atoms.
Why is the covalent bond between O and H considered polar?
Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.44 Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.2 So Oxygen attracts the electrons so the oxygen side of the bond is more negative as the electron are closer to it, this forms permanent dipoles as parts of the molecule are have opposing charges. And that is a polar covalent bond and non polar bond is is where you have two elements with the same EN and the electron is equidistant from them. You can have non polar molecules with polar bonds for example carbon dioxide whitch is linear in shape so the charges cancel each other out.
What do you conclude about the importance of the hydrogen bond on the heating up of water?
Well, if the hydrogen weren't bonded to the oxygen, there would be no water to heat up in the first place, so I suppose the hydrogen bond is crucial to heating up water.
How are different between hydrigen bonds and ionic bonds?
Hydrogen bond is not so strong; it is a bond between hydrogen and a very electronegative atom as nitrogen, fluorine, oxygen.
What is the type of bond that forms the water molecule?
The weak bond that exists between water molecules is called a hydrogen bond. In a water molecule, H2O, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom. Because the oxygen atom is so much larger than the hydrogen atoms, it is more electronegative and holds the electrons more tightly. Because of this, the oxygen atom develops a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms develop a slightly positive charge. This causes the water molecule to be polar, like a bar magnet. Weak attractions (hydrogen bonds) form between adjacent water molecules, so that the slightly negative oxygen atom forms a weak bond with a slightly positive hydrogen atom.

Why do water conduct electricity?
Water conduct electricity because of the hydrogen bond that it undergoes. Hydrogen bond is a type of a bond that exist between either hydrogen and nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen or hydrogen and florin. Example of such compounds are H20,NH3 and HF...so water is among, and because of the bond that enables it to conduct electricity....im sure wit my answer

What are the resonance structures of CH4S?
I believe there are 3 stuctures. The molecule can only resonate through 3 of its Oxygens while the last one holds the hydrogen. So you have S in the middle 4 Oxygens around it. 1. Oxygen 1 has the hydrogen and has a single bond to the S. Oxygen 2 has a double bond to the S, Oxygen 3 has a single bond to the S (and a negative charge), and Oxygen 4 has a double bond to the S. 2. Same as before but this time Oxygen 3 has the double bond and Oxygen 2 has the single bond and the extra lone pair (negative charge) 3. Same thing except Oxygen 4 now has the single bond and negative charge and Oxygen 2 has the a double bond. The Oxygen with the hydrogen attached should always be single bonded as well as one other Oxygen. The other 2 oxygens are double bonded. I hope that makes sense, it's hard to explain when you can't draw it.
Does H2O have a nonpolar covalent bond?
No, the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen are polar since oxygen's electronegativity rating is higher, so the oxygen side of the bent atom is considered the 'negative pole' in the dipole molecule.
What bond makes Oxygen nitrogen and fluorine bond with hydrogen?
A "hydrogen bond" - a intermolecular force caused by large difference in electronegativity. [Hydrogen has a very low electronegativity whilst Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen all have a very high electronegativity so an electrostatic attraction exists]
