What kind of electrical charge is found on a hydrogen atom of a polar water molecule

Biology
2 answers:
svlad2 [7]2 years ago

Answer:slightly positive charge

While there is no net charge to a water molecule, the polarity of water creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water's properties of attraction. Water's charges are generated because oxygen is more electronegative, or electron loving, than hydrogen.

Answer:

A negative charge exists because of the electronegativity of oxygen. A polar water molecule is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Due to its atomic structure, there is an unequal distribution of charges and thus oxygen gets a more negative charge while hydrogen gets a positive charge.

The modern synthesis brought together Darwin's theory of evolution with Mendelian genetics. Why was this so important?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Options for the question are

a.  It demonstrated that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.

b.  It demonstrated that species arise from other species.

c.  It provided a quantifiable mechanism to explain gradual evolutionary change.

d.  It was the first time that change in biological organisms was observed.

e.  It was not very important to evolutionary biology.

Solution -

The term modern synthesis by coined by Julian Huxley and the goal of this synthesis was to understand and determine how genetics bring evolutionary changes in a population and with this objective it combined the Darwin’s theory of evolution and Mendel’s work on heredity. Later on scientist Dobzhansky under this synthesis found that genetic mutation causes variation through the process of natural selection and hence lead to evolutionary changes in a population even if they are isolated for a long time.  

Hence, option C is correct
