What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule (H_{2}O) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can  stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.  

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2>400 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 100 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>400 J</h3>

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy intoenergy A) electromagnetic B) heat C) mechanical D) nuclear
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. (A)  Specifically, it pours high-power RADIO waves into the box.

Water molecules and fat molecules resonate (jiggle) with the radio waves, and the heat is generated IN THE FOOD.

I work with microwave radios.  

-- To communicate high-speed data over a distance of 5 to 10 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 0.07 watt .

-- To communicate high-speed data over distances up to 80 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 1 to 2 watts.

-- To heat up a chunk of leftover meatloaf, a microwave oven pumps radio waves into the box with a power output of 1200 to 1500 watts ! !

How much work is needed to pump all the water out of a cylindrical tank with a height of 10 m and a radius of 5 m
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

volume of water being lifted

= π r² h , where r is radius of cylinder and h is height of cylinder

= 3.14 x5² x 10

= 785 m³

mass of water = 785 x 10³ kg

mass of this much of water is lifted so that its centre of mass is lifted by height

10 / 2 = 5m .

So work done = mgh , m is mass of water , h is displacement of centre of mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

= 785 x 10³ x 9.8 x 5

= 38.465 x 10⁶ J
