C) H2O has the strongest dipole interactions
Explanation:
The dipole interactions are the interactions that occur between polar molecules.
Polar molecules form when the atoms forming the molecule have different electronegativity, therefore one of the atom in the molecule attract the shared electrons more towards itself; as a result, the molecule ends up having a region which is slightly negatively charged and a region slightly positively charged.
In this problem, we are comparing 4 different molecules. We observe that:
H2: this molecule is formed by 2 atoms of hydrogen - since the two atoms are identical, electrons are equally shared between the two atoms, so this molecule is not polar
O2: this molecule is formed by 2 identical atoms of oxygen, so it is not polar, for the same reason as H2
CH4: this molecule consists of a carbon atom surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms - since this molecule has a symmetric structure, the charge is balanced, therefore this molecule is not polar
H2O (water): the oxygen atom in the water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogens, therefore it tends to attract more the shared electrons - as a result, the molecule is polar.
Therefore, the correct answer is H2O.

Explanation:
the sun gives energy to the grass to grow then the animal eats the grass and gets the energy and then the decomposer or mushroom will break it down for food.
Answer:
<u>because of the process of refraction of light.</u>
Explanation:
Note, the term refraction refers to the process which results in the <em>bending of light </em>as it passes through a medium. This bending of light can make objects become magnified (or larger), or even smaller.
In this scenario, as the light passes slowly through water it affects how we perceive the objects (the words on the paper) behind the jar (more likely a glass jar). In other words, the light combined with the water refracts (changes direction of) the lights our eyes can see, making the letters seem to change size.
