Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent as the hydrogen and oxygen atom has large difference in their electronegativities.

Oxygen atom is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen atom therefore, it pulls the electrons of hydrogen atom closer towards itself.

As a result, two poles will create forming a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that high electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen is the cause of polarity in water molecules.

Which of the following is NOT true about the exothermic reaction?
Natasha2012 [34]

The statement that is not true about the exothermic reaction is that the potential energy of the product is higher than the potential energy of the reactant. That is option D.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

An exothermic reaction is the reaction that releases heat to the environment which causes increase in the immediate environment.

The characteristics of exothermic reaction include the following:

  • Activation energy of the forward reaction is smaller than the activation energy of the reverse reaction.

  • Heat is released to the environment during reaction.

Since there is release of heat, the product will have a lower energy than the reactant.

Therefore, the statement that is not true about the exothermic reaction is that the potential energy of the product is higher than the potential energy of the reactant.
