To understand hydrogen bonding in water we need to know that water is a polar molecule. This means that it has a positive and a negative side . • Because the O atom in H2O is more electronegative the shared electrons will spend more time closer to the O. Since electrons are negative this means the O atom will have a negative charge. Therefore the H atoms will be positive. • Awesome software used for simulation: https://www.bitwixt.com/jsite/atomsmi... . • Hydrogen bonding occurs when the negative side of one water molecule is attracted to the positive side of another molecule. This attraction forms a hydrogen bond. • Hydrogen bonds are weak compared to covalent and ionic bonds. Despite being weak they result in may of the unique properties associated with water. For example surface tension, cohesion, and a higher boiling point.
