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.

Unstable elements tend to combine with other elements to form
prisoha [69]

Answer: Compounds.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when an unstable element combines with other elements, they do this by sharing electrons within their outmost shell. Compounds forms when there is a chemical bonding between two or more elements. Examples of compounds includes carbon dioxide (C, O) water (H and O), Sodium chloride (Na, Cl), methane, etc.

What is the enthalpy of formation (?H?f) of NaHCO3(s) from its constituent elements.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Enthalpy of formation = -947.68KJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation is the heat change when one mole of a substance is formed from its element in its standard states and in standard conditions of temperature and pressure. it may be positive or negative, if positive, it is an endothermic reaction where the heat content of the product is greater than that of the reactants, and if negative, it is exothermic reaction - where the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products. the enthalpy of formation is measured in KiloJoule/Moles (KJ/Mole).

From the value of the enthalpy of formation of NaHCO3, it shows that the reaction is exothermic, that is the formation of NaHCO3 from its constituents elements. As such, the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products.

The step by step explanation is shown in the attachment.

What do measurements of the mass of the Milky Way indicate?
miv72 [106K]

<span>That the mass is far lesser and distributed mistakenly, as compared to what the orbits of stars declare it should be. Stars orbit more rapidly than the mass would predict, particularly out toward the galactic edge. This means that there is more mass than has been measured, and that it is spread out in a huge cloud around the galaxy. This is one of the reasons why scientists believe that dark matter exists.</span>

The half-life of argon-39 is 269 years. It decays into krypton-39. After 1,076 years, what fraction of the original amount of ar
Darya [45]

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Fraction remaining =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 1076 / 269

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the fraction of the original amount remaining. This can be obtained as follow:

Let N₀ be the original amount.

Let N be the amount remaining.

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Fraction remaining (N/N₀ ) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁴ × N₀

N = 1/16 × N₀

Divide both side by N₀

N/N₀ = 1/16

Thus, the fraction of the original amount remaining is 1/16
