Why is water called "polar"?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brilliant_brown [7]4 years ago
6 0

Water (H2O) is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen on side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bonding. When solutes are added to water, they may be affected by the charge distribution.

Manganese has a total of 25 electrons, but the following orbital notation for manganese is incorrect. Explain the error in terms
laila [671]
The Orbital configuration for Manganese is as follows:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5

It says 3d is shown with five orbitals- this is correct

Then it says the first two orbitals have two electrons-this is incorrect. 

When filling in the orbitals for any element, you first need to distribute to ALL orbitals then extras go from there.

The orbital d can have up to 10 electrons so you need to distribute at least one electron to all ten. Since you only have 5 then only 5 orbitals would have electrons in them. In order for ANY of the orbitals to have two electrons, there would need to be AT LEAST 11 electrons to distribute.
