hydrogen bond in water?

Question

how a hydrogen bond forms between TWO molecules of water?

Answer 1

this is the case of a dipole-dipole attraction in which the hydrogen atom is bonded to highly electronegative oxygen atoms( could also be nitrogen or fluorine). The hydrogen side of a polar molecule, in this case water, has a positive charge because the more electronegative oxygen the hydrogen is bonded to tugs on the electron with the covalent bond. This hydrogen is therefore electrically attracted to a pair of nonbonding electrons on the negatively charged atom of another molecule, in this case another water molecule.This mutual attraction between hydrogen and the negatively charged atom of another molecule is a hydrogen bond.

Answer 2

Oxygen is electronegative in nature. Remember that water is a polar molecule and the hydrogen is not shared equally. So, it is inevitable that the electronegatively charged oxygen would go for the slightly more electropositively charged hydrogen. Due to this circumstance, hydrogen form with another oxygen causing a hydrogen bond.

Answer 3

oxygen has high electronegativity than hydrogen, so in a molecule of water, partial charges are created, where an oxygen atom accquires a negative one while the hydrogen accquires a positive charge (dipole). So in two adjacent water molecules the oxygen of one molecule is electrostatically attratced to the positive hydrogen of another water molecule creating a hydrogen bond between the two molecules

Answer 4

hi, hydrogen bond is an fascinating tension between 2 hydrogen atoms that are related to an electronegative atom of same or diverse molecule... motives:even nonetheless this bond is a vulnerable bond,without this bond there is not any existence.this is through fact some capability is had to interrupt the bond,to transform ice into water and water into gas.hence water remains as a liquid at room temparature.

Answer 5

Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, it attracts the electrons towards itself, making it slightly negative, and the hydrogens slightly positive. Because of this polarity, the hydrogen atoms of one molecule are attracted to the oxygen atoms of another.
