Answer:

The correct option is the A

Explanation:

Like oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, it attracts electrons stronger than hydrogen. Therefore the two covalent bonds are polar.

The option b is incorrect because if oxygen and hydrogen had similar electronegativities, they would form no-polar bonds.

The option c is incorrect because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen (you can check that in a periodic table).

The options d and e are incorrect because the molecular size or hydrophilic don't influence the type bond.

What volume does 18.0g of bromine occupy?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Hey there!

Atomic mass Bromine ( Br ) = 79.9 u

Therefore:

79.9 g Br --------------- 22.4 L ( at STP )

18.0 g Br --------------- volume ??

Volume Br = 18.0 * 22.4 / 79.9

Volume Br = 403.2 / 79.9

Volume Br = 5.046 L

hope this helps!
