Question
what type of bonds form between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms between different water molecules? ionic hydrogen covalent peptide
Brief Explanations
- Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, typically in compounds like salts, not between water molecules.
- Covalent bonds are within a water molecule (between \(H\) and \(O\) of the same \(H_2O\)), not between different water molecules.
- Peptide bonds are in proteins (between amino acids), not relevant here.
- Hydrogen bonds are weak electrostatic attractions. In water, the slightly positive \(H\) of one \(H_2O\) molecule is attracted to the slightly negative \(O\) of another \(H_2O\) molecule.
