Chemical Bonds in Water
Two hydrogen atoms are bonded to Oxygen in order to the valence shell of O. creates a polar covalent bond
A covalent bond is a chemical bond that binds two atoms share electrons in their valence shell in order to fill to capacity.
octet rule; where an atom wants to fill its valence shell to the maximum 8 electrons. In water the two hydrogen atoms have one electron in their valence shell and oxygen has 6. When bonded they complete the octet rule.
-
the Oxygen atom of a water molecule is polar and very electronegative and bonds to the slight positive charge of the two hydrogen atoms.
hydrogen bond is the slight attraction of a slightly positive hydrogen atoms to a slight negative attraction of a polar covalent bond.

-
while water molecules are neutral, they're not symmetrical in distributing charges.
-
Van der Waal interactions occur when their is an electrical attraction between opposite charges and repulsion with similar charges
