Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of bond gives a water molecule its unique properties?
A
Nonpolar
B
Covalent
C
Ionic
D
Hydrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Water molecules are polar, so they form hydrogen bonds. This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water owes these unique properties to the polarity of its molecules and, specifically, to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with each other and with other molecules. Below, we’ll look at how this hydrogen bonding works.
