Question

polar water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other. in liquid water, hydrogen bonds are constantly broken and reformed as water molecules slide past each other. the model shows the water molecules interacting with each other. complete the sentence. a slightly positive atom in a water molecule forms a bond with a slightly negative atom in another water molecule.

Explanation:

In water molecules (\(H_2O\)), hydrogen (\(H\)) has a slightly positive charge (\(\delta^+\)) due to the electronegativity difference with oxygen (\(O\)). Oxygen has a slightly negative charge (\(\delta^-\)). Hydrogen bonds form between the slightly positive hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the slightly negative oxygen atom of another water molecule.

Answer:

A slightly positive hydrogen atom in a water molecule forms a hydrogen bond with a slightly negative oxygen atom in another water molecule.
