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.

<u>Answer:</u> The unbalanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.

In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and magnesium metal follows:

$B_2O_3(s)+Mg(s)\rightarrow B(g)+MgO(s)$

Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.

How do you show the formation of an ionic bond using a Lewis dot diagram ?

Luden [163]

An x would represent the gained electrons
A . Would represent the valence electrons
You would just draw [ ] around the diagram
And the charge should be placed outside the brackets
