Answer:- The direction of the polarity of the indicated bond is from carbon to oxygen.

Explanations:- There are two types of covalent compounds, polar and non polar. If the bond is between two same atoms for example, H-H, Cl-Cl etc then the bond is non polar. If the bond is between two different atoms then the bond would be polar. The direction of the polarity is from loss electron negative atom to more electron negative atom.

Oxygen is more electron negative than carbon. So, being more electron negative, the bonding electrons are more towards oxygen and it cases partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on carbon. The direction of the polarity is from less electron negative carbon to more electron negative oxygen.

It is shown in the diagram below:

The term for free electrons in metals transferring energy by colliding with other atoms or electrons is _____.

shepuryov [24]

Conduction

In metals, the electrons of each atom are delocalized, which means they are free to move about in the structure of the metal. When heat is applied at one end of the metal, the electrons there are excited and collide with surrounding particles, transferring their energy to them. This is what makes metals very good conductors of both heat and electricity.

____ [38]

An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in the form of light, electricity, or sound. Since the water gives off heat, the temperature of the water should be lower, so the answer might be B) The thermometer will show a decrease in temp.
