Answer:

Covalent Compound

Explanation:

H₂O is a covalent compound due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen. Covalent compounds involve elements with similar electronegativity values. Hydrogen has an EN value of 2.2 and oxygen has an EN value of 3.4. These values are not far enough apart to make them form ionic bonds between each other.

While water can act as an acid, it its purest form, H₂O is neutral.

The mole concept is important in chemistry because 1. it allows us to distinguish between elements and compounds. 2. it provides
Rufina [12.5K]
Answer:
             <span>The mole concept is important in chemistry because, "</span>Atoms and molecules are very small and the mole concept allows us to count atoms and molecules by weighing macroscopic amounts of material".

Explanation:
                   To understand this question lets take an example of Hydrogen atom. Let suppose you need to react Hydrogen with Oxygen. You need exactly Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom to form one water molecule.
                  The mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.76 × 10⁻²⁴ grams. How will you count the Hydrogen atoms??? How can you measure exactly for 1 Million Hydrogen Atoms???
                   Answer to these questions and Calculations lies in Mole. It is found that 1 Mole of Hydrogen weights exactly 1.008 gram and contains 6.022 × 10²³ atoms. Now, having this reference in hand you can calculate for any number of Hydrogen atoms.

Result:
           So the Mole helps us to zoom a microscopic level to a macroscopic level. :)

Why is Hawaii made of volcanoes? <br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands were literally created from lots of volcanoes—they're a trail of volcanic eruptions. In the case of the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Plate is continually moving to the northwest over the Hawaiian hot spot. This movement caused the Hawaiian chain of islands to form.
