The Chapter Concept Map Links Covalent and Ionic Bonds as Chemical

The chapter concept map links covalent and ionic bonds as chemical bonds that attract atoms or molecules.What is the chemical bond characteristic that contributes to the numerous important properties of water molecules for living organisms?

A) The covalent bond strengths of water molecules change with pH, temperature, or solute conditions present.
B) The covalent bonds that form water molecules transform to ionic bonds in presence of other molecules, temperature changes, or pH.
C) Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules, not requiring gain, loss, or sharing of electrons.
D) Bonds that form water are of the nonpolar covalent form.
