Water is ______ because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lera25 [3.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

water is <u>polar </u>because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Water is  polar covalent compound because of large electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. If the electronegativity difference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 the covalent compound will be non polar.

Covalent Compound:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and water becomes polar.

Characteristics of matter that do not involve chemically changing a substance are called _____ properties.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Physical properties

Explanation:

These properties are the ones that you can observe or collect by your senses, for example the color, the odor, the sound, the texture, etc. In this case the substance is not going to change to a new one, it could be that is changing of state.

How many H2 and O2 molecules do you need to make exactly 4 water molecules with no leftovers?
vlabodo [156]
You need 4 H2 molecules and 2 O2 molecules.
This is because water is H2O which is 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen so if you want to make 4 water molecules, you’ll need 8 hydrogen and 4 oxygen.
Given H2 you need 4 because 4•2 is 8 and for O2 you need 2 because 2•2 is 4.
I hope this makes sense.

A shiny chunk of metal is found to have a mass of 37.28g. The metal is dropped into a graduated cylinder which contains 20.0 mL
Amanda [17]

Answer: The density of the material is 2.66 g/mL and it is likely this  is made of Aluminum

Explanation:

The first step to know the material of the chunk of metal is to calculate its density. The general formula for density is P (density) = \frac{m (mass)}{ v (volume)}. Moreover, in this case, it is known the mass is 37.28 g, but the volume is not directly provided. However, we know the water in the graduated cylinder had a volume of 20.0 mL and this increased to 34.0 mL when the chunk of metal is added, this means the volume of the metal is 14 mL (34.0 mL - 20.0 mL = 14 mL). Now let's calculate the density:

P = \frac{37.28g}{14.0mL}

P = 2.66 g/mL

This means the density of this metal is 2.66 g/mL, which can be rounded as 2. 7 g/mL, and according to the chart, this is the density of aluminum. Therefore, this material of this chunk is aluminum.
