Answer:
b) the oxygen atom of one molecule and a hydrogen atom of an adjacent molecule
Explanation:
In a Hâ‚‚O molecule there are two O-H bonds. The O atom being more electronegative pulls away the shared pair of electron in the covalent bond more towards itself thus O gaining a partial negative charge and H atom getting a partial positive charge. Thus a dipole exists in the O-H bond in the Hâ‚‚O molecules. Thus in both liquid water and solid ice there is a weak attraction or hydrogen bond between the oxygen atom of one Hâ‚‚O molecule and a hydrogen atom of an adjacent Hâ‚‚O molecule.
