Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following describes the most likely way in which two water molecules will interact?
A
an ionic bond will form between the oxygens in each water molecule
B
a metallic bond will form between the hydrogens in each water molecule
C
a hydrogen bond will form between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of the other water molecule
D
a covalent bond will form between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of the other water molecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following describes the most likely way in which two water molecules will interact? A hydrogen bond will form between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of the other water molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. The attraction between individual water molecules creates a bond known as a hydrogen bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following models best demonstrates the arrangement of hydrogen bonds between adjacent water molecules? Correct. The hydrogen bonds between these water molecules correctly show the attractive force between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of the adjacent water molecule.
