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.

Iron(II) is available to bond with chloride ion. How many of each type of ion will bond to form an ionic compound?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

D) 1 iron(II), 2 chloride

Explanation:

Iron II chloride is the compound; FeCl2. It is formed as follows, ionically;

Fe^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) -----> FeCl2

The formation of one mole of FeCl2 involves the reaction one mole of iron and two moles of chloride ions. This means that in FeCl2, the ratio of iron to chlorine is 1:2 as seen above.

Therefore there is one iron II ion and two chloride ions in each mole of iron II chloride, hence the answer.
