Which characteristic of water allows its molecules to form hydrogen bonds? The water molecule is polar. Water has a low specific heat. Ionic bonds hold the water molecule together. Water expands as it freezes.

I'd say that the water molecule is polar but I'm not too sure. You're taking chemistry right?

Physical science

Well, it seemed like chemistry to me. XD I seriously think the water is polar so try that.

OpenStudy (matt101):

Yes, the answer is that water is polar. Hydrogen bonds are a particularly strong type of polar bond, due to the high electronegativity difference between the bonding O and H.
