No, boric acid can still be very dangerous to humans, animals, and children. It may requires a lot of it for a lethal dose, but there are also several side effects of exposure to boric acid. Many of the insecticides that contain boric acid will contain a sweetener, such as sugar, to attract insects.
Within a water molecule is covalent bonds. between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
Both of these atoms can form a hydrogen bond with oxygen atoms of different water molecules. Every water molecule can be hydrogen bonded with up to three other water molecules (See Fig. 3-7). However, because hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds, in liquid water they form, break, and reform easily. Thus, the exact number of hydrogen bonds formed per molecule varies.
