Which of the Following Best Describes the Structure of How

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the structure of how water molecules form?

• A) Hydrogen atoms covalently bond with each other to create one stable valence shell of electrons. The hydrogen molecule then forms a hydrogen bond with an oxygen atom to create the water molecule.
• B) One oxygen atom transfers an electron to each of two hydrogen atoms, forming an ionic bond.
• C) The oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms form a covalent bond with one another to create stable valence shells of electrons. The electrons are shared unequally resulting in a polar molecule.
• D) Hydrogen bonds are formed between the two hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom.
• E) Because of its strong electronegativity, oxygenremoves one electron from two different hydrogen atoms. This satisfies the valence shell of oxygen. Then hydrogen bonds form between the two hydrogen atoms which keeps them in the vicinity of the oxygen atom.
