Explanation:
Answer:
The moon's gravity pulls at the Earth, causing predictable rises and falls in sea levels known as tides. To a much smaller extent, tides also occur in lakes, the atmosphere, and within Earth's crust. High tides are when water bulges upward, and low tides are when water drops down.
Answer:
A. H2O
Explanation:
Let us first define the three types of bonds:
1. Nonpolar Covalent: electronegativity difference < 0.4
2. Polar Covalent: electronegativity difference between 0.4 and 1.8
3. Ionic: electronegativity difference > 1.8
This will help us eliminate choices C and D:
-NaCl has a electronegativity difference of 3.0 - 0.9 = 2.1 (ionic bond)
-Cl2 has a electronegativity difference of 3.0 - 3.0 = 0 (nonpolar covalent bond)
However, we still have two more options, A and B, but they are not diatomic for us to use the electronegativity differences with.
We must now consult their geometries. Because CO2 has a linear geometry (O=C=O), the two sides will cancel each other out, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond. At this point, by process of elimination, we can already determine the answer to be A. H2O. We can verify this by looking at the geometry of H2O, which is bent (H-O-H; imagine the O is above the H's, I cannot draw it in this response). H2O's bent geometry classifies it as polar covalent; the electrons are slightly more attracted towards the O, the more electronegative element. Side note: this makes the O slightly more negative in charge, whilst the H's are slightly more positive in charge.
P.S. I apologize for not being able to draw and demonstrate that last paragraph, but I hope you get a general idea. You can search up the "H2O geometry" and "CO2 geometry" to get a better idea! :)
Okay, let's look at the oxidation number of each substance.
-Br2 has an oxidation number of 0 because it is in a stable form.
- I- has a -1 charge and thus has an oxidation number of -1.
- 2Br- has a -1 charge also
- I2 has an oxidation number of 0 as well.
Bromine goes from 0 to -1 and Iodine goes from -1 to 0.
Therefore, Bromine is having an electron added whilst Iodine is having an electron removed.
Oxidation is Loss of electrons so Iodine is being oxidised, Reduction is Gain of electrons so Bromine is being reduced.
