Which of these statements about hydrogen bonds is not true? Individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water exist for less than a second. Hydrogen bonds do not account for the anomalously high boiling point of water. In liquid water, the average water molecule forms hydrogen bonds with three to four other water molecules. Individual hydrogen bonds are much weaker than covalent bonds. The strength of a hydrogen bond depends on the linearity of the three atoms involved in the bond.
