@Pim Please explain how do you say this is the answer

anonymous · Answer

oxygen atom has a slight negative charge and the hydrogen atom has a slight positive charge... Hydrogen bonds are formed between the negatively charged oxygen atom and the positively charged atoms of other water molecules in their liquid state..

Oh okay that makes sense, thank you for explaining.

nincompoop · Answer

the explanation is that because Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen, thus creating the slight polarity
