  • Water Molecule Bonding: Covalent & Hydrogen Bonds Explained
    A water molecule (H₂O) is capable of forming four bonds:

    * Two covalent bonds: These bonds are formed between the oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms within the water molecule.

    * Two hydrogen bonds: These bonds are formed between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and the hydrogen atom of another water molecule.

    These hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds but are responsible for many of water's unique properties, such as its high boiling point, surface tension, and ability to dissolve many substances.
