which type of intermolecular force in water creates the surface tension that allows the stones to skip across the top of the water

Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Water is a compound found readily in nature. It is made up of interatomic forces of covalent bonds that connects the hydrogen and oxygen bonds together in a definite ratio.

The intermolecular forces are responsible for the physical properties of substances. These forces allows a compound to behave in certain ways. In water, the intermolecular bonding present are the very strong hydrogen bonds. For this bond type, the hydrogen of one water molecule is firmly attached to the oxygen of another water molecule. The bonds are very strong forces.

The molecules contain like 54 of water
