Why is water called "polar"?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brilliant_brown [7]3 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.

gregori [183]

Answer:

The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.

Explanation:

Cell has three components:

an electrolyte and two electrodes which is a cathode and an anode.

Electrolyte is usually solution of the water or other solvents in which the ions are dissolved.

<u>In electrolytic cell:</u>

Negatively charged electrode is the cathode where the process of reduction takes place.

Positively charged electrode is the anode where the process of oxidation takes place.

<u>In galvanic cell:</u>

Positively charged electrode is the cathode where the process of reduction takes place.

Negatively charged electrode is the anode where the process of oxidation takes place.

<u>So, the correct answer is - The cathode is the electrode where the reduction takes place.</u>
