Which statement is true about the electrons in each polar bond of a water molecule?

Chemistry

Greeley [361]3 years ago

They are more attracted by the oxygen atom than by the hydrogen atom.

Explanation:

In the polar bond of water which is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the shared electrons are more attracted by the oxygen atom than by the hydrogen atom.  

The interatomic bond in water is a polar covalent bond.  

In this bond type, two species shares their valence electrons.  

The bond usually occurs between non-metals with an electronegativity difference that is small.

Oxygen is more electronegative compared to hydrogen.

  • This implies that oxygen pulls the electron more closely to itself since it has a greater affinity.
  • This leaves a partial negative charge on oxygen and a positive charge on hydrogen.
  • The molecule is said to be polar covalent.

A positively charged substance is brought near the ion. What will most likely happen and why
d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> It repels positive ion and attracts negative ion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 2 types of ions:

1. Cations: These ions are positively charged ions which are formed when a substance looses electrons.

2. Anions: These ions are negatively charged ions which are formed when a substance gains electrons.

It is known that, like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

As, it is given that the substance is positively charged, so it will attract anion and repel cation.

How old is a bone if it now .3125 of C-14 when it originally had 80.0g of C-14
Taya2010 [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

42960 years

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Remaining mass of C-14 in a bone is 0.3125 g
  • Original mass of C-14 on the bone is 80.0 g
  • Half life of C-14 is 5370 years

We are required to determine the age of the bone;

  • Using the formula;
  • Remaining mass = Original mass × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half lives.

Therefore;

0.3125 g = 80.0 g × 0.5^n

3.90625 × 10^-3 = 0.5^n

  • Introducing logarithm on both sides;

log 3.90625 × 10^-3 = n log 0.5

Solving for n

n = log 3.90625 × 10^-3 ÷ log 0.5

   = 8

  • Therefore, the number of half lives is 8
  • But, 1 half life is 5370 years
  • Therefore;

Age of the rock = 5370 years × 8

                          = 42960 years

Thus, the bone is 42960 years old

Why does energy spread out evenly if there's only a 21% chance that energy spreads out evenly?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

It has to do with increasing the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

The modern definition of entropy is that it is the extent to which a system is able to disperse its energy. Energy (such as heat!) likes to spread itself out, so that as many states as possible are occupied with the least amount of energy.
