Study Notes
Water Molecule Concepts
- Hydrogen bond: A weak attraction that occurs between water molecules due to partial positive charges.
- Polar covalent bond: A strong bond found within a single water molecule, characterized by the unequal sharing of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen.
- Hydrogen: An element in water molecules that carries a slight positive charge due to its electron-sharing with oxygen.
- Oxygen: An element in water molecules that possesses a slight negative charge because of the uneven distribution of electrons.
- H2O: The chemical formula representing a single water molecule, consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
