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.

Why is atp an example of chemical potential energy?
marta [7]
Hello! I hope this helps

Answer: ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is considered as the energy currency of the cell as it stores energy in the cell. It is an example of chemical potential energy because energy is stored in the high energy containing phosphoanhydride bond (between phosphate molecules in the ATP).

What are the conditions for evaporation?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

For evaporation you need a warm, preferably humid temperature. The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature. A windy climate is best, as wind helps to remove the evaporated water vapour, and therefore creating a better scope for evaporation to continue. The speed of wind is important for evaporation because the wind pulls in dry air, increasing the rate of evaporation.

Short Answer- Hot and humid temperature, lots of wind speed.

What type of bonding exists between the carbon atoms to create diamond ?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Diamond is organized in a giant lattice structure with strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms. Each carbon atom forms 4 bonds. Explanation: Each carbon atom has four electrons in its outer shell, all of which form covalent bonds that are strong and hard to break.
