Answer: The correct answer is option (A).
Explanation:
Polar molecules are molecules in which formation of partial charges takes place due to which dipole moment gets created in a molecule. Molecules with polar bonds that s bond with partly ionic character. And water is of the example of polar molecule.
Electronegative oxygen atom in water molecule attracts the electron bond pair towards itself which generates partial negative charge on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms.
Where as water has higher value surface tension due to strong intermolecular association of the water molecule due to presence of hydrogen bonding.And it is more denser is liquid state than in its solid state.
Hence,the correct answer is option (A).
Answer:
The answer is A. I took the test today.
Explanation:
We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.
Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.
If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.
With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.
With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.
