A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom arranged in a bent shape. Since oxygen is significantly m

ore electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atoms have a much stronger attraction to shared electrons than does hydrogen. This unequal sharing of electrons and bent shape results in water being called a _________________ .

Answer: A)  polar molecule  

Explanation: Polar molecules are molecules which contain atoms of different electronegativities.

Non polar molecules are molecules which contains atoms of same electronegativities.

Water is a polar covalent molecule formed by unequal sharing of electrons. Oxygen being more electronegative tend to keep the electron pair towards itself thus generating a partial negative charge. The hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge thus resulting in a polar molecule.

The bent shape is due to repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of electrons.

PLEASE HELP ASAP I'M SO STRESSED
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

160.3g

Explanation:

We know the equation:

No of moles = mass ÷ Mass of element

We need to find the mass, so make mass the subject of the formula.

Mass = No. of moles × mass of element

Mass = 5 × 32.06

Mass = 160.3g

What is the relationship between Celsius and kelvin
Inga [223]

The relationship between Celsius and kelvin is that degrees Kelvin is equal to degrees Celsius + 273.15. That means that the freezing point of water (0°C) is 273.15° kelvin. This makes an additive relationship between the two quantities, so quantities such as the boiling point and freezing point of water are the same distance apart on the Kelvin scale (100 degrees). This means that kelvin has the same magnitude as Celsius.

What environment will produce the largest crystal sizes?
VMariaS [17]
  • The pressure should be low as low pressure can melt the crystals easier way
  • According to Gay lussac's law pressure is directly proportional to temperature so temperature should be also low as it's general any thing need to be cooled down inorder to get crystallised
  • Now for amount of dissolved solids the solution should be super saturated like magma .It denotes that the particles present as solute must be greater than the solubility.
  • Cooling time also should be long inorder to give time to crystallization
