Here we have to choose the correct statement behind the polarity of the water molecule.

The polarity of the water molecules is due to the B. deflection of the hydrogen atoms by the lone pair of electrons.

The bonding of the water (H₂O) molecule is shown in the figure. There remain two lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons among which 2 are involved to make the covalent bond with two hydrogen atom.

The lone pair if electrons exerted lone pair-bond pair repulsion and H₂O has a bent structure as shown in the figure. In this way the dipole moment generated by oxygen and hydrogen cannot be nullified and it has a permanent dipole moment which leads the molecule to be polar in nature.

The water molecule is not linear in nature it has bent structure.

There is a huge difference of electronegativity between the hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atom. The oxygen atom is highly electronegative whereas the hydrogen atom is electropositive in nature.

The hydrogen bond formation is due to the fact the molecule is polar in nature.

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

Answer:

Both b/c a chemical formula tells you how many and a sketch formula shows how they are bonded together.

Molecular formulas show how many atoms of each element one molecule of a compound contains. Note: Ionic compounds are generally crystalline solids with high melting points. Other compounds, however, have very different properties.

It’s wave motion. Because when wave passes throug an object, some of the other material can go though on other object(s).
