Question

All of the following statements help to explain why water molecules form hydrogen bonds except:________
A- Water is an electronegative molecule.
B- The electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
C- There is a partial positive charge on each hydrogen atom and two partial negative charges on the oxygen atom in a water molecule.
D- Attractions form between opposite partial charges.

Answer 1

Answer:- Water is an electronegative molecule.

Explanation:

A molecule cannot be electronegative. Rather the atoms in a molecule may be electronegative. This first statement does not account for the hydrogen bonding in water at all because it is incorrect. However, the other statements in the question sheds more light on the nature of hydrogen bonding in water molecule.
