Answer:

high electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen

Explanation:

The electronegativity value of O and H are 3.5 and 2.1 respectively. The electronegativity difference of the O-H bond in H₂O is 1.4.  

  • When the elctronegativity difference between two atoms in bond is below 0.5 the bond is nonpolar covalent.  
  • When the elctronegativity difference between two atoms in bond is between 0.5 and 2.0 the bond is polar covalent.  
  • When the elctronegativity difference between two atoms in bond is above 0.5 the bond is ionic.  

Thus the O-H is a polar covalent bond. This explains the polarity in water molecules.

This problem is being solved using Ideal Gas Equation.
                                                   PV  =  nRT
Data Given:
                  Initial Temperature = T₁ = 27 °C = 300 K
                  Initial Pressure      =  P₁ = constant
                  Initial Volume         = V₁ = 8 L
                   Final Temperature = T₂ = 78 °C = 351 K
                  Final Pressure      =  P₂ = constant
                  Final Volume         = V₂ = ?
As,
Gas constant R and Pressures are constant, so, Ideal gas equation can be written as,
                                          V₁ / T₁  =  V₂ / T₂
Solving for V₂,
                                           V₂  =  (V₁ × T₂) ÷ T₁
Putting Values,
                                           V₂  =  (8 L × 351 K) ÷ 300 K

                                           V₂  =  9.38 L

What element would have similar chemical properties as oxygen
xeze [42]

Answer:

Oxygen is in group 16/VIA, which is called the chalcogens, and members of the same group have similar properties. Sulfur and selenium are the next two elements in the group, and they react with hydrogen gas (H2) in a manner similar to oxygen.
