Answer:

A. Two water molecules interact due to partial charges on the oxygen and hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

  • A covalent bond is formed when the sharing of the two electron pairs and creates a stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces. The sharing allows the atoms to attain the equivalent of the outer shell. Sharing corresponds to the stable electronic configuration.
