Which of the following explains why water molecules are attracted to each
other?
A. The partially positive charge on the oxygen of one molecule
attracts the partially negative charge on the hydrogen of another.
B. The partially negative charges on the oxygen atoms of two
different water molecules are attracted to each other.
O c. The partially negative charge on the oxygen of one molecule
attracts the partially positive charge on the hydrogen of another.
D. The partially positive charges on the hydrogen atoms of two
different water molecules are attracted to each other.

Water is made up of H20. Hydrogen has a positive charge, and oxygen has a negative one, so the water molecule is polar(meaning it has an unequal sharing of electrons). Anyway, when water molecules connect, opposites attract, so the hydrogen(positive charge), is attracted to oxygen(negative charge). This is referred to as a HYDROGEN BOND, and isn't a bond, but an attraction. It allows for all the properties of water, which are essential to life. I could go on, but I don't want to put you to sleep.
