Which of the following statements is true of the bonds in a water molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

oxygen holds electrons more tightly than hydrogen does, and the net charge is zero.

Explanation:

The bonds in water are covalent in nature.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial negative.

A sample of a compound contains ​0.300 mol​ ​of carbon​ and ​1.20 mol​ ​of hydrogen​. What is the ​empirical formula of the comp
Margarita [4]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:

C = ​0.300 mol​ ​

H = ​1.20 mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)

C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1

H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4

The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
DedPeter [7]

Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas

Explanation:

There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.

Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.

A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).

Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas

In general, what is the effect if increased temperature on the solubility of a gas
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Increased temperature causes an increase in kinetic energy. The higher kinetic energy causes more motion in the gas molecules which break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.

<h2>Collision Theory </h2>

Explanation:

<h3>The given statement is related to the collision theory - </h3>

Collision theory was given by William Lewis in 1916.

This theory explains in a qualitative manner that in what way any chemical reaction occurs and the reason for the different reaction rates for different reactions.

<h3>According to the collision theory - </h3>
  • Molecules must collide in order to react
  • Sufficient amount of energy is needed for collisions (kinetic energy) so that the chemical bonds should break
  • This energy used is known as the activation energy
  • On the increase in the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule increases and the molecules move faster and collide with a proper orientation at an increased speed
  • This increases the rate of a collision that in turn increases the breaking of the bond
