A single water molecule (H-O-H)is held together by

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A water molecule consists of two polar covalent bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The electronegativity difference between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms results in a partial positive charge on each hydrogen and a partial negative charge on the oxygen, making water a polar molecule. While hydrogen bonds do play a role in the properties of water, they do not hold the molecule together as a whole.
