describe the electrostatic force between water molecules
a type of wander waals force called hydrogen bonding due to the slightly positive hydrogens and slightly negative oxygen. this occurs because of the uneven attraction for electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen. the electrons move more towards the oxygen in the covalent bond as it has a higher electronegativity and so making it slightly negative
