A single water molecule can make three to four hydrogen bonds. A single water molecule can usually make three hydrogen bonds but in some cases it can make up to four.
Hint: If your high school Biology teacher is asking you this question the number of hydrogen bonds a molecule of water can make is almost always three (just remember one bond for each element).

How many covalent bonds do H usually form?
2 covalent bonds
How many covalent bonds do oxygen form?
ONE double bond (eg. in oxygen O2: O=O) or TWO single bonds (eg. in water H2O: H-O-H).
How many C-C sigma bonds are in Acetone How many C-H bonds are in Water How many C-O pi bonds are in Water How many C-O sigma bonds are in 2-Propanol How many C-C pi bonds are in Methanol?
C-C sigma bonds in acetone : 2 C-H bonds in water : 0 C-O bonds in water : 0 C-O sigma bonds in propanol : 1 C-C pi bonds in methanol : 0
Why water form 4 H-bonds?
Because of the presence of two lone pairs on Oxygen and due to polarity of the two Hydrogens, H20 can form 4 Hydrogen bonds. Bollaram Dileep Kumar
Will ethane form a hydrogen bond with water?
No ethane (C2H6) is a hydrocarbon and hydrocarbons can't form hydrogen bonds. Only molecules containing hydrogen (H) bonded with nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F) can form hydrogen bonds.
How many covalent bonds do H usually form?
2 covalent bonds
How many covalent bonds do oxygen form?
ONE double bond (eg. in oxygen O2: O=O) or TWO single bonds (eg. in water H2O: H-O-H).
Which bonds break and which new bonds form?
2H2 + O2 + 2H2O 2H-H + O=O = 2H-O-H..not shaped like this !! The bonds in the reactants break and the bonds in the products form. The bonds in the H2 and O2 break and the bonds in the water form.
How many C-C sigma bonds are in Acetone How many C-H bonds are in Water How many C-O pi bonds are in Water How many C-O sigma bonds are in 2-Propanol How many C-C pi bonds are in Methanol?
C-C sigma bonds in acetone : 2 C-H bonds in water : 0 C-O bonds in water : 0 C-O sigma bonds in propanol : 1 C-C pi bonds in methanol : 0
Are hydrogen bonds weak bonds that form between water molecules in liquid form?
Yes, H-bonds are weak bonds. The hydrogen bond is approximately 30 times weaker than a normal covalent bond.
How many covanlent bonds is oxygen likely to make with hydrogen?
2 covalent bonds: H-O-H. In other words, it makes water.
What does each hydrogen ion bond with to form hydronium ions?
H+ +H2O=H3O+ It bonds to water
What types of bonds does a water molecule have?
One molecule of water (H-O-H) contains two ionic bonds.
What are the 5 propertys of water?
polarity ionic bonds h bonds
Why water form 4 H-bonds?
Because of the presence of two lone pairs on Oxygen and due to polarity of the two Hydrogens, H20 can form 4 Hydrogen bonds. Bollaram Dileep Kumar
What bonds are broken during the combustion of methane (CH4) form water and carbon dioxide?
All four C-H bonds in methane are broken during combustion.
What bonds are broken during the combustion of methane CH4 to form water and carbon dioxide?
All four C-H bonds in methane are broken during combustion.
