A slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water's properties of attraction.

<h3>Which statements accurately describe the polarity and electronegativity of water?</h3>

<u>Polarity Of Water:</u>

The one oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms which are present in a water molecule "H2O" form a polar covalent bond. There is no net charge on water molecule, the polarity of water molecule creates a partial positive charge on Hydrogen and partial negative charge on Oxygen which helps for contributing the attraction force.

<u> Electronegativity Of Water:</u>

A water molecule consists of two atoms of hydrogen linked by covalent bonds to the same atom of oxygen. Atoms of oxygen are electronegative and attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds.

So we can conclude that: A slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water's properties of attraction.

Answer:

The answer to these questions are the following:

1. sucrose solution (higher concentration of water molecules in the onion cells) >> red onion cells will shrink >> smaller diameter

2. distilled water (higher concentration of water molecules in the surrounding solution) >> red onion cells will become turgid >> higher diameter

Osmosis refers to the movement of a solvent (usually water molecules) across semipermeable biological membranes, which occurs from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. There are three classes of solutions that have different effects on cells due to the process of osmosis:

1. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will become turgid  

2. In an isotonic solution, the cells will become flaccid.  

3. In a hypertonic solution, the cells will shrink (plasmolysis)

When plant cells are placed into a hypertonic solution where there is a greater concentration of solute outside the cells (as in this case sucrose solution), water molecules will move from inside the cells to outside the cells, thereby cells will shrink due to water loss

When plant cells are placed into a hypotonic solution that is diluted in comparison to the content of the cell (as in this case plant cells placed in distilled water) water molecules will move from outside the cells to inside the cells, thereby cells will become turgid.
