Lab: Ionic and Covalent Bonds — Unit test

Question 7 • Chemistry 1A - Mr. Kaan

Which statement about hydrogen bonds is true?

Answer
A
They are the only force that allows a gecko to climb up glass.
B
They are the weakest of the intermolecular forces.
C
They are much stronger than intramolecular forces.
D
They help water striders walk on water by creating surface tension.

Explanation

Hydrogen bonds attract neighboring water molecules, helping water hold together and creating surface tension. That surface tension supports water striders as they walk on the surface. Gecko feet rely mainly on van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bonds are not the weakest intermolecular force.
