C. Oxygen has a different attraction for electrons in H2O than in CO2

the covalent bond between Hydrogen-Oxygen and Carbon-Oxygen is different because the difference of electronegativity (the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself) between Hydrogen and Oxygen is a lot higher than the difference of electronegativity between Carbon and Oxygen. This difference in electronegativity results in separation of partial electric charge creating polar bonds and giving the molecule a polarity.

How long will bus take to travel 150 km at an average speed of 40km/hr
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.75 hours

Explanation:

By v = \frac{d}{t}

where v is the velocity (or speed in this case)

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

t = \frac{150}{40}=3.75
Therefore it takes 3.75 hours for the bus to travel 150 km and 40 km/hr.
