When two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen Atom to form water what happens to the electrons

1 answer:

<span>Most bonds are made when a positive atom or molecule (one that is missing an electron in its outer shell) accepts an electron from a negative atom or molecule. Hydrogen is a positive ion because it only has one electron in its outer shell instead of a pair. Oxygen has paired electrons, but because it is highly electronegative one of the outer electrons is held closer to the nucleus, creating a partial negative charge. This partial negative charge attracts the electron in the outer shell of hydrogen and creates a bond. This type of bond accounts for the high surface tension in water.</span>

What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 8 grams of BaCl2 in enough water to make a 450. 0 mL solution? (Hint:

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Molarity is the molar concentration of the solute dissolved in a volume of a solution. The molarity of the solution prepared by dissolving barium chloride will be 0.085 M.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is the ratio of the moles of the solute to that of the volume of the solution in Liters. It can be given as,

$\rm Molarity = \dfrac{moles}{Volume}$
