Answer:
Ionic compound are when electrons are given to another element, making one atom positive and the other negative, so they attract. Covalent compound is when both atoms share electrons with each other.
Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.
Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).
Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.
Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.
Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.
Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.
Oxygen atom has six valence electrons
, two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.
Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.
Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².
In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.
Answer;
it combines with the water and H in the atmosphere and creates sulfuric acid thus making the rain acidic
