What causes water molecules to be attracted to each other?

Chemistry

This polarity makes water molecules attracted to each other. The oxygen-hydrogen bond in the alcohol molecule is also polar. But, the carbon hydrogen bonds in the rest of the alcohol molecule are nonpolar. In these bonds, the electrons are shared more or less evenly.

Answer:

Both polar covalent bonds inside each water molecule and hydrogen bonds inside each water molecule are liable for attraction between water molecules.

Explanation:

  • Water is a polar protic molecule.
  • Due to large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen atom, two O-H bonds in water molecule are polar.
  • Due to the presence of polar covalent bonds in water molecule, water molecules attract each other through oppositely polarized ends.
  • In water molecules, H atom is attached with highly electronegative oxygen atom. Hence hydrogen bonding interaction arises between water molecules.
  • So, both option (A) and (B) are correct

Which of the following statements correctly relates mutations and survival rates of plants?
Tasya [4]
Answer is: <span>Mutations sometimes improve the chances of survival for a plant.
</span>Mutations are very important because they change <span>variability in populations and in that way enable evolutionary change.
</span>There are three types of mutations:
1) good or advantageous mutations - <span> improve the chances of survival for a plant.
2) </span>bad or deleterious - decrease the chances of survival for a plant.
3) neutral -  not affect he chances of survival for a plant.

Which is the correct equilibrium constant expression for the following reaction? 2brcl 3 (g) br 2 (g) 3cl 2 (g)
marishachu [46]

Kc = concentrations of product / concentrations of reactant

Kc = [Br₂] [Cl₂]₃ / [BrCl₃]₂

What is the equilibrium constant?

The relationship between a reaction's products and reactants with regard to a certain unit is expressed by the equilibrium constant(K) This article introduces the mathematics needed to determine the partial pressure equilibrium constant as well as how to formulate expressions for equilibrium constants. By allowing a single reaction to reach equilibrium and then measuring the concentrations of each chemical participating in that reaction, one can determine the numerical value of an equilibrium constant. it is the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations. The equilibrium constant for a given reaction is unaffected by the initial concentrations because the concentrations are measured at equilibrium.

Hydrogen bond notes​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is a partial intermolecular bonding interaction between a lone pair on an electron rich donor atom, particularly the second-row elements nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine, and the antibonding molecular orbital of a bond between hydrogen and a more electronegative atom or group.
