And what that means is there is an unequal and asymmetric distribution of electron density. And that gives the oxygen a partial negative charge and these h atoms a partial positive charge. Now, let's move on to the second property of water, its ability to basically form strong intermolecular bonds with other water molecules. And as we'll see in just a moment, with other polar molecules as well. So let's suppose we have several water molecules that are in close proximity. How exactly will these water molecules actually orient themselves with respect to one another?
