When oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, then the oxygen atom would have a slightly negative charge. The oxygen atom in the carbon monoxide molecule would pull more electrons to its side since it has higher electronegativity making it slightly negative and the carbon would have a slightly positive charge as it would contain less electrons. This results to the formation of a polar molecule. A polar molecule is made when the molecule contains a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. It would have a net dipole which is a result of the partial opposing charges in the molecule.
<h2>Hello!</h2>
The correct answer is A: Water molecules evaporate and condense at the same rate.
<h2>Why?</h2>
Evaporation is defined as the physical change from liquid to gas, and Condensation is the physical change from gas to liquid.
At any given temperature, these two processes occur at once, in a dynamic equilibrium.
When the lid is closed, evaporation occurs faster than condensation, and pressure increases. Then, when pressure reaches a critical value, condensation starts to occur faster than evaporation, until an equilibrium is reached, and the pressure of the water molecules in the gas phase is maximum for that temperature. The pressure at that point is called Vapor Pressure.
Have a nice day!
