Because the Hydrogen and Oxygen have a slight positive and negative charges that attract them to each other. As to why they bond in that ratio is because they're balanced that way, their electrons balance their covalent bond. This ratio of two Hydrogen and one Oxygen is well balanced therefore easily formed

Which of the following reactions is a synthesis reaction?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 4H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Chemical reactions occur when compounds or elements combine to form new compounds or other elements.
  • Chemical reactions may be classified into various types which include synthesis reactions, replacement reaction, decomposition reactions, and precipitation reactions among others.
  • In our case, we were supposed to identify a synthesis reaction.
  • Thus, we need to know what is a synthesis reaction.
  • A synthesis reaction is a reaction that occurs when two elements or small compounds combine to generate a large compound.
  • In this case, B is the choice that shows a synthesis reaction where hydrogen gas combines with oxygen gas to yield water.

Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) ____ substance.
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.

The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water.  The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water.  One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.
