Question

The slight negative charge at one end of one water molecule is attracted to the slight positive charge of another water molecule. What is this attraction called? A) a covalent bond B) a hydrogen bond C) an ionic bond D) a hydrophilic bond E) a van der Waals interaction

Answer 1

B) a hydrogen bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bond -

It is the type of bonding , between a more electronegative atoms like , oxygen , fluorine , nitrogen etc , with the less electronegative hydrogen atom , is known as hydrogen bonding .

The molecule of water has an electronegative oxygen atom , which interacts with the slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom , and thereby forming a hydrogen bonding .
