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

Biology
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

A is incorrect because water is a molecule with covalent bonds.

C is incorrect because water is <em>very</em> much polar, since Oxygen has a relatively higher electronegativity than Hydrogen (so the difference of their electronegativities would be greater than 0.3 and less than 1.7).

D is incorrect because the bonds between elements in the water molecules is  not hydrogen bonding since water is a molecule in its own right, with strong bonds.

NARA [144]

Answer:

Amino acid sequence is directly related to the differences in the DNA of the species.

Explanation:

Above situation is related to the evolutionary research in which scientists are in search of common characteristics between species and from those species they will examine the amino acid sequence of proteins because amino acids sequence is directly related to the sequence of DNA and DNA is the main thing among all other variables by which differences in species can be identified effectively.
