Answer:

The molecular structure of water makes water to be a polar compound

Explanation:

A polar compound is a compound that has two poles. In this case, water will have negative and positive poles.

When a water molecule is formed, the two atoms of hydrogen do not just stay any where they like. Rather, they attach to the top of the oxygen atom, like rabbit ears as shown in the attachment below.

The hydrogen atom is positively charged, while the oxygen atom is negatively charged. This gives water its unique polar nature.

The top of the water molecule which has the hydrogen is now positively charged.

The bottom part of the water molecule which has the oxygen atom exposed is negatively charged.

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

<span><span>1.       </span>Question : What part of the plant that transport water from its root to its leaves.
The answer is the stem. The stem connects the plant’s root and leaves, it is responsible for transporting water that is absorbed by the root going to the leaves, it is also responsible for transporting nutrients absorbed with the leaves coming from the sun or any nutrients going to the roots to make is grow faster and healthy. Stem is the one that connects leaves and root and the one the does the transporting job.</span>
