Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge

Biology

rodikova [14]3 years ago

In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.

In the covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, the oxygen atom attracts electrons a bit more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.

Answer:

Glucose: is a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

Fructose: or fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants.

Deoxyribose: sugar derived from ribose by replacing a hydroxyl group with hydrogen.

Ribose: is a kind of sugar that is produced by the body. It is used as a medicine. Ribose is used for heart disease, mental function, athletic performance, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Which of the statement(s) is (are) not right __________. a. mRNA: contains protein-building instruction b. tRNA: deliver free am
Alina [70]

Hi there!

We can go through the overall function of all three of these:

mRNA: transcribed from the DNA, has the protein's composition written in it, and brings that to a ribosome where the protein will be made

tRNA: looks at the codons (set of 3 nucleotides) on the mRNA and brings amino acids which match up to that codon

rRNA: significant part of the composition of ribosomes

Now, looking at these, and back to the answer choices, we can already see that a, b, and c are correct. d, on the other hand, is incorrect.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this specific problem.
