Answer:

b) water molecule has a bent shape

Explanation:

In the context of chemical bonds, polarity refers to the separation of charges i.e. the distribution of electrons between the atoms constituting the bond. This charge separation creates a dipole.

Similarly polar molecules are made of polar bonds in which the bond dipoles add up such that there is a net dipole moment.

In water(H2O), the central O atom is more electronegative than H which creates a dipole directed towards the O atom. In addition, due bent shape of H2O the dipole moments add up (instead of cancelling out if it were linear) resulting in a net dipole which makes water polar.

How many moles of solute are in 53.1 mL of 12.5M HCI?
Deffense [45]
Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.

From this relation, we can figure out the number of moles of solute by multiplying the molarity of the solution by the volume in liters.

We have 53.1 mL, or 0.0531 L, of a 12.5 M, or 12.5 mol/L, solution. Multiplying 12.5 mol/L by 0.0531 L, we obtain 0.664 moles. So, in this volume of solution, there are 0.664 moles of solute (HCl).

Which statement describes an open circuit? The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit shine. The circui
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the third option

Explanation:

The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit do not shine.

An open circuit means an incomplete circuit.

The first option is wrong since the lights do not shine in an open circuit.

The second option is wrong since an open circuit is incomplete.

The fourth option is also wrong since an open circuit is broken or incomplete.

∴ The third option is correct.

If atoms are so tiny how do we know they exist
Aleksandr [31]

There are three ways that scientists have proved that these sub-atomic particles exist. They are direct observation, indirect observation or inferred presence and predictions from theory or conjecture. Scientists in the 1800's were able to infer a lot about the sub-atomic world from chemistry.
