Answer:

1. Presence of one valence electron in the outermost shell.

2. Less electronegative than Oxygen.

3. Six valence electrons its outer shell. So it needs to 2 electrons to get stable octet.

4. It is highly electronegative.

Explanation:

Hydrogen with the electronic configuration of 1s^1 needs 1 electron in its outer shell to be stable while oxygen with the electronic configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4 needs 2 electrons to complete octet state.

2 hydrogen atoms therefore bond covalently (sharing of electrons) with 1 Oxygen atom via hydrogen bond to form a water molecule.

This covalent hydrogen bond formed is polar as oxygen will attract electrons towards it due to high electronegativity.

Answer:

Hydrogen

1. has one electron in the outermost shell

2.It is less electronegative

Oxygen

3.It requires two electrons to complete its outer shell

4.It is more electronegative

Explanation:

Each hyrogen of two will share its electron with oxygen.Oxygen requires two electrons to complete its outer shell so it will  share with two hydrogen. Covalent bonds formed will be polar as oxygen will attract electrons towards it due to high electronegativity. This happens in water molecule

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.

The alveoli are surrounded by __________ carrying blood to and from the heart.
natka813 [3]
The alveoli are surrounded<span> by tiny blood vessels, called capillaries. The </span>alveoli<span> and capillaries both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the </span>alveoli<span>to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.</span>

What is bonding all about in chemistry?
Alina [70]
A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

How to separate aluminum powder and ethyl alcohol mixture?
ddd [48]

Answer:

            By Filtration using Filter Paper

Explanation:

                  Aluminium Powder is made from Aluminium with the help of mechanical means. This powder is mainly used in paints, cosmetics, fingerprint powders, thermite, rocket fuels e.t.c.

                  Also, Aluminium Powder is insoluble in water and organic solvents. Therefore, when mixed in Ethanol it will form a suspension. The Aluminium Powder can therefore be easily separated by simple Filtration using Filter paper.
