Question

what inter molecular force does water have?

Answer 1

I believe they are dipole dipole forces.

Answer 2

they are dipole dipole moments cause by the electronegativity of the H and O atoms. This force is called hydrogen bonding.

Answer 3

covalent boding and dipole forces ( water is H20 ) H+ is +ly charged so the 2 H attracts the -ly charged O besides A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine well this is all the summary of what i know

Answer 4

If the question asks for intermolecular forces, the correct answer would be the forces that hold two molecules of water to each other. Covalent bond bind O to H, within the molecule. The best response is H bonds. They are prominent in water and are responsible for the anamolous properties of water. The basis of H bonds is the availability of lone pairs of electrons on the O making it electron rich and the attraction between O and the more electron deficient H.

Answer 5

Person above is correct but H isnt Electron deficient, this is a valance bond approach that the above people are giving to you which fails a lot of the time. The correct way to look at this and you will see more in Ochem and upper level chemistry classes is Molecular Orbital theory. Now to answer your question both the H's on H2O have a partially + charge which implies oxygen has a partially (-) charge. In conclusion Hydrogen bonds occur at partially positive charged hydrogen atoms and partially - charged Oxygen atom
