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.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.

Which process is most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers

Sav [38]

I believe Erosion is the process most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers. Erosion involves the physical action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then moved away to another location.

Foods that allow microorganism to grow are called parasites true or false

Natasha_Volkova [10]

False. Foods that allow microorganism to grow are not called parasites. Parasites are organisms that feeds on the nutrients of its host.
For example leeches. They suck on our blood.

Foods that allow microorganism to grow are called potentially hazardous foods. They are high in protein and moisture and are slightly acidic.
For example hamburgers. They are high in protein and moisture.
