Question

What types of bond would be found within each water molecules and what types of bonds would connect the two water molecules together?

Furthermore, when relevant, where would the electrons be positioned in these bonds (ie. in the middle of the bond, or closer to one of the elements)? Be sure to be specific as to what bonds you are referring to when answering this question (it might not apply for all bond types).

Finally, would any full or partial charges result due to these bonds? Please explain.

Answer 1

The chemical formulae of Water molecule is H2O. It means that water molecule is structurally composed of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom which are covalently bonded to each other as:

Since Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen, it tends to pull the electron pair towards itself leading to unequal sharing of electrons between Oxygen and Hydrogen. As a consequence, the oxygen will develop a partial negative charge and Hydrogens will develop partial positive charge as represented below:

Therefore there are polar covalent bonds within a water molecule and hydrogen bonds between different water molecules.
