Water molecules are held together by covalent bonds, a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. The hydrogen atoms' electrons complete the outer shell of the oxygen atom, making both atoms stable (full electron shells).

Is Mercury a molecule?
Technically yes, But mercury is an element ... so the molecules consist of only a single atom.
What is Formed when two atoms bond covalently?
i am doing the same worksheet right now.... Molecule
Two hydrogen atoms combine chemically with one oxygen atom to form water. What is water?
A molecule
What is a water molecule made of?
One atom of water and two atoms of hydrogen. One oxygen atom and two hyrdogen atoms.
How does the formula for water tell you that there is only one oxygen atom in a water molecule?
Water is H2O, so it contains two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O).
What types of bonds hold together a water molecule?
Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.
What can water molecules form hydrogen bonds with?
Water is composed of Two Hydrogen atoms that form a polar covalent bond with an oxygen atom.
Maximum number of hydrogen bonds in ice?
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. :)
A water molecule is held together by what kind of bond?
The water molecule itself is held together by polar covalent bonds between the oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms.
What hold the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom?
In a water molecule the hydrogen atoms are held to the oxygen atom by covalent chemical bonds.
What holds the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom?
In a water molecule the hydrogen atoms are held to the oxygen atom by covalent chemical bonds.
What chemical bonds would you find in pure water?
In each water molecule each hydrogen atom forms a polar covalent bond with the hydrogen atom.
What is the attraction between two hydrogen atom in one water molecule and the oxygen molecule in another is an example of a what kind of bond?
These are covalent bonds.
What type of bonds hold one molecule of water to another molecule of water?
A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom(<-wikipedia). Hence, in a water molecule the positive hydrogen atoms are attracted to the negative oxygen atoms. Just know that the hydrogen bond mentioned above is not a chemical bond. If it were, it wouldn't be water anymore. Another force between water molecules are London Dispersion Forces.
In a single molecule of water the two hydrogen atoms are bonded to a single oxygen atom by?
covalent bonding
How can one describe the chemical bonds that occur between the two atoms of hydrogen to the one atom of oxygen in a molecule of water?
These are termed to be 'covalent bonds'.
How does hydrogen bonding affect water molecule?
When the water freezes, the molecules within it start to expand. When the water boils, hydrogen bonding allows for a higher boiling point.
