Which of the following statements correctly identifies and describes the type of covalent bond found between oxygen and hydrogen in water molecules

The question here is incomplete but the completed question is below and the correct answer is C

(a) polar covalent bonds because hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen

(b) hydrogen bonds because hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen

(c) polar covalent bonds because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

(d) hydrogen bonds because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Covalent bond is a bond that involves the sharing of electrons (shared pair) between two atoms. There are two types of covalent bond, polar and nonpolar covalent bond.

We can establish from the above that the type of bond that exists within a water molecule is polar covalent bond. In the electrochemical series, oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. Hence, the correct option is C

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
