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.

Is C6H12O6+6O2>6CO2O the chemical reaction of photosynthesis

zysi [14]

A simple word equation that can be used to describe the process of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen + water. A balanced chemical equation for the process can be written as 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Overall, photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate
