I think: Water is covalently bonded. This means that is has no positive and negative charge (unlike ionic bonding) However from time to time water molecules split into "one hydrogen" and "one hydrogen and one oxygen molecule" this therefore gives water attraction to both positive and negative charges as the two separated parts are charged differently. Remeber i am unsure of the validity of this answer I hope it helps Saeed Al Hakeem Uk seedy it is a polar molecule
What else can I help you with?
Why dissolve Br2 in methylene chloride and not in water?
because water is highly polar and Br2 is non-polar so the molecules in the water are more attracted to each other. But methylene chloride is non-polar so its molecules are no more strongly attracted to other methylene chloride molecules than they are to Br2 molecules. Since all of the forces are weak, the substance can dissolve.
What is the process in which water molecules move away from each other to become whater vapor?
The process in which water molecules move away from each other to become water vapor is called evaporation. It occurs when heat energy is added to liquid water, causing the water molecules to gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid and become a gas.
Water and ammonia both have low vapor pressures compared to other substances like carbon dioxide or hydrogen gas because of?
their relatively weak intermolecular forces. Water and ammonia molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, which requires more energy to break compared to the forces between carbon dioxide or hydrogen gas molecules. This results in lower vapor pressures for water and ammonia.
Why does water form drops?
Water forms drops due to the cohesive forces between water molecules. Cohesion causes water molecules to be attracted to each other, creating a spherical shape that minimizes surface tension. This shape allows water to form into droplets rather than spreading out.
Which property is responsible for the fact that water and oil do not mix?
The property responsible for the fact that water and oil do not mix is their difference in polarity. Water is a polar molecule, with positive and negative ends, while oil is nonpolar. As a result, water molecules are attracted to each other and repelled by oil molecules, making them immiscible.
What is the relationship between oil and water?
The relationship is that they do not mix. The molecules in water are attracted to each other and will not mix with the oil molecules which are also attracted to each other and therefore will not mix with the water molecules
Do water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?
Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.
Does water molecules bond to each other with covalent bonds?
No, water molecules do not bond to each other with covalent bonds. Instead, water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, which is a weaker type of interaction than covalent bonds.
Does water consist of molecules attracted to each other by covalent bonds?
No. Water does consist of molecles (H2O) but these are attracted to one another by hydrogen bonds
What property does water show when the molecules are attracted to each other?
Hydrogen Bonds (not actual bonds but strong inter-molecular forces)
Give one reason why water molecules are attracted o each other?
The H atoms with partial + charges attract O atoms with partial - charges on other water molecules.
Molecules in what state are strongly attracted to each other but can change positions?
The molecules in a liquid state are strongly attracted to each other but still have enough kinetic energy to move around and change positions. This allows liquids to flow and take the shape of their container.
Match the description of the form of water that is described?
Molecules are not stuck together: Water vapor Molecules are attracted to each other, but not ordered: Liquid water Molecules are joined in an ordered structure: Ice -Apex-
What bonding forms Molecules?
A water molecule is formed by two O-H bonds. Water molecules are attracted to each other by the intermolecular force; hydrogen bonding.
Why don't water molecules and oxygen molecules attract each other?
Water molecules are polar due to the unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, while oxygen molecules are nonpolar. As a result, water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, but do not interact strongly with nonpolar oxygen molecules.
What is when molecules are attracted to each other but not ordered?
This describes a liquid.
What are some interesting facts about oil?
Water molecules won't form a solution (are not miscible) in oil. The reason is that water molecules are polar, and oil molecules are not. Water molecules, in an environment of oil, are attracted to each other, and this polar bonding excludes the oil molecules.
