The liquid state of water at room temperature is as a result of Hydrogen bond (I.e it's the bond that exists between the liquid phase ). While the bond that exists within the molecule of water (H2O) is covalent bond
I am writing to report a grading error regarding the question about the liquid state of water at room temperature. The system marked hydrogen bond as incorrect, but this is the scientifically accurate answer. While water is a small molecule that should theoretically be a gas, the high electronegativity of oxygen creates strong intermolecular attractions called hydrogen bonds that keep the molecules in a liquid state at 25°C. Since covalent bonds are intramolecular and Van der Waals forces are too weak to maintain this state, I request that you review the answer key
