Question

question 7 (1 point) what type of force bonds oxygen to hydrogen inside water molecules? covalent london dispersion dipole-dipole ionic bond

Explanation:

In a water molecule (\(H_2O\)), oxygen and hydrogen are non - metals. Non - metals share electrons to form bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. In \(H_2O\), oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms. Ionic bonds are between metals and non - metals (involve electron transfer). London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular forces (not bonds within a molecule). Dipole - dipole forces are intermolecular forces (not bonds within a molecule).

Answer:

covalent
