Question

1. identify the type of interaction that connects one water molecule to another water molecule.

hydrogen polar covalent
ionic nonpolar covalent

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are the intermolecular forces that connect one water molecule (\(H_2O\)) to another. In water, the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen. This causes a partial negative charge (\(\delta -\)) on the oxygen and partial positive charges (\(\delta +\)) on the hydrogens. The partial positive hydrogen of one water molecule is attracted to the partial negative oxygen of another water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Polar covalent bonds are within a single water molecule (between \(H\) and \(O\) atoms). Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons (not present in water - water interactions). Non - polar covalent bonds have equal sharing of electrons (not the case in water - water interactions).

Answer:

Hydrogen
