Question

The bonds within an individual water molecule and between separate water
molecules explain the special properties of water. Describe the type of bond
within individual water molecules and the type of bond between separate water
molecules. Then, list two unique properties of water.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The water molecule consist of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms are bonded to the oxygen atom from two sides with a bond known as polar covalent bond.

The valency of oxygen is two and valency of hydrogen is one then the polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of one electrons from each hydrogen atom with the oxygen atom.
