How are oxygen molecules attracted to water molecules?
A) The attraction between oxygen and water molecules is a classic example of dipole-dipole interaction.
B) The hydrogen bonding in water causes the attraction of the oxygen atoms in the O2 molecule to water.
C) As a water molecule is brought close to an oxygen molecule an induced dipole results in the O2 molecule causing the attraction.
D) The attraction of oxygen and water molecules for one another is part of the common atom effect. Since both molecules contain oxygen, there is a built-in attraction.
