Answer:

B. Hydrogen bonds exist only in the solid-state

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are basically the attraction between water molecules so it has to occur in water obviously. though hydrogen bonding exists between water molecules and not within them, it is what brings water together and doesn't let it float around like vapor (water in its gas state). so hydrogen bonds do NOT exist only in a solid-state

The statement that is not a property of water is: "Hydrogen bonds exist only in the solid state"

WHAT IS HYDROGEN BOND?

  • Hydrogen bonds are a type of weak electrostatic bonds that results from the interaction between an hydrogen atom (electropositive) and another electronegative atom e.g oxygen, chlorine etc.

HYDROGEN BOND IN WATER MOLECULES:

  • Water molecule is a polar molecule, hence, the hydrogen atom of one water molecule is attracted to the electronegative oxygen atoms of another water molecule , resulting in the formation of HYDROGEN BOND.

  • The hydrogen bonds that forms between water molecules causes a high surface tension.

  • Water molecules can exist as a liquid, gaseous and solid molecule, therefore, hydrogen bonds cannot be formed only in the SOLID STATE. This makes the statement untrue.

Hydrogen bonds do not exist only in the solid state but the three states of matter as evidenced in water.
