3.1.4 Draw and label a diagram showing the structure of water molecules

Water (H2O) should be drawn as two hydrogen atoms connected to one oxygen atom by a bond known as a polar covalent bond. There are two lone pairs of electrons on each oxygen atom (represented by the two short lines). The oxygen has a slightly negative charge while the hydrogen has a slightly positive charge. When two water molecules are in the vicinity of one another, the slightly negative oxygen atom of one molecule is attracted to the slightly positive hydrogen atom of the other water molecule and this forms a hydrogen bond. This results in cohesive forces between water molecules.

This is so helpful. Thank you very much

wat dont u guys get . its a water molecule bonding with another water molecule using a hydrogen bond

There is 1 Hydrogen atom and 2 Oxygen atoms in a molecule of water always has been and always will be regards Graham Flowers MEng
