Maximum Number Of Hydrogen Bonds Formed By A Water Molecule Are :
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D 4
Hydrogen Bonding in Water
- The electrostatic attraction between the Hydrogen and the most electronegative atom of second row elements such as Nitrogen, Oxygen and fluorine is known as Hydrogen bonding.
- One water molecule has two Hydrogen atoms which can be bonded with oxygen of other molecules so, two hydrogen bonds formed by hydrogen atoms.
- The oxygen has two lone pairs which can be donated to two other hydrogen bonds so a water molecule can form Four Hydrogen bonds.
Therefore, The number of Hydrogen bonds in water is 4. So correct option is (D).
