      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.These hydrogen bonds cause H2O molecules in liquid water to form polymer-like chains called oligomers.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.These oligomers are constantly forming, breaking, and reforming, and their mean length depends on the thermodynamic context.
