What kind of bond is found between the individual atoms of a single water molecule?
A) hydrogen bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bond found between the individual atoms of a water molecule is a covalent bond that is polar. This is because the oxygen atom has a greater electronegativity than the hydrogen atoms, causing unequal sharing of electrons and thus creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms.
