Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of bonding causes all of water’s unique properties?
A
hydrogen bonding
B
ionic bonding
C
Van der Waals bonding
D
covalent bonding
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 Is Polar There is no overall charge to a water molecule, but there is a slight positive charge on each hydrogen atom and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. Because of these charges, the slightly positive hydrogen atoms repel each other and form the unique shape.
