Question

The hydrogen atom of one water molecule bonds with the oxygen atom of another water molecule. What is this bond referred to as?

A. Hydrogen bond

B. Covalent bond
C. Ionic bond

Answer 1

B Covalent bond

A) a hydrogen bond is actually an intermolecular force (between molecules not within molecules
B) ionic bonds occur when there is bonding between IONS, which exist between elements of large electronegative differences (if EN diff is greater then 1.7, its likely ionic)

Quick general reference:
-bonding between metals (left periodic table) and gases (right periodic table)= ionic bond (loss/gain electrons)
-gases with gases (both on the right periodic table)= covalent bonds (sharing electrons)
