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.

The mass of 0.10 mole of methane
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A methane molecule is made from one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Carbon has a mass of 12.011 u and hydrogen has a mass of 1.008 u. This means that the mass of one methane molecule is 12.011 u + (4 × 1.008u), or 16.043 u. This means that one mole of methane has a mass of 16.043 grams.

メタン分子は、1つの炭素原子と4つの水素原子から作られています。炭素の質量は12.011uで、水素の質量は1.008uです。これは、1つのメタン分子の質量が12.011 u +(4×1.008u)、つまり16.043uであることを意味します。これは、1モルのメタンの質量が16.043グラムであることを意味します。^>^

Wuy Piolcululugu<br> Give the names of two organs in the chest.<br> 1. ...............<br> 2 m
Arada [10]

Answer:

The organs present inside the chest are :

1. The lungs

2. The heart

Explanation:

The chest cavity is also called as the thoracic cavity. It is the second largest hollow space of the body.In the bottom , it is enclosed by the diaphragm.

This cavity actually contain three space each round with mesothelium , pleural cavity and precardial cavity.

This contain the lungs , the tracheobronchial tree , the heart , the blood vessels which transport the blood between the heart and the lungs.

It also contain the esophagus .

Esophagus is the path through which the food passes from the mouth to the stomach.

Determine the mass of 2.4 x 10^24 atoms of gold?​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Mass = 785.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Atoms of gold = 2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms

Mass of gold = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the number of atoms into moles.

2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol/ 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

number of moles = 3.99 mol

Now we will determine the mass of gold.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  3.99 mol × 196.97 g/mol

Mass = 785.9 g
