Water molecules are made of slightly positively charged hydrogen atoms and slightly negatively charged oxygen atoms. Which force keeps water molecules stuck to one another?

A.) Strong Nuclear
B.) Gravitational
C.) Weak Nuclear
D.) Electromagnetic

As we know that when two charged particles are placed at some distance from each other then the force between the charge particles is given by Coulomb's law

It is given by the equation

[tex]F = \frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

so here we can say that whenever two charges are separated by some finite distance then they exert electrostatic force on each other

This force would be attraction force if two charges are opposite in sign and this force will be repulsive force if the charges are of same sign

Since here hydrogen and oxygen atom is having few positive and negative charges on them so the force between them is electromagnetic force

Water molecules are made of slightly positively charged hydrogen atoms and slightly negatively charged oxygen atoms. Which force keeps water molecules stuck to one another? A.) Strong Nuclear B.) Gravitational C.) Weak Nuclear D.) Electromagnetic
