Which statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule?. A) The hydrogen end of the molecule has a partial negat

ive charge and the oxygen end has a partial positive charge.. B) The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. . C) Both ends of the molecule have a partial negative charge, which attracts the other water molecule towards itself.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Polarity of a molecule arises when difference in electronegativities is present between the atoms.

Water is a molecule which is formed from hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Electronegativity of oxygen atom = 3.44

Electronegativity of hydrogen atom = 2.1

Difference in electronegativity = (3.44 - 2.1) = 1.34

An atom which is more electronegative will attract a shared pair of electron towards itself and will carry a partial negative charge. And the atom which is less electronegative will carry a partial positive charge.

Hence, in water molecule, hydrogen will carry a partial positive charge and oxygen atom will carry a partial negative charge.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

<span>Answer: option B) The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge.

Justification:

The electronegativity of an element accounts for its relative ability to attract electrons.

Being oxygen more electronegative than hdyrogen (the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 while the electronegativity of the hydrogen is 2.20), the electron density will be displaced toward the oxygen, letting it with a partial negative charge and the hydrogen with a partial positive charge.

Finally, since the charge is not symmetrical distributed around a center of the molecule, the molecule ends being polar.</span>

What happens to air pressure as altitude increases
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

the air pressure decreases

explanation

as altitude increases air pressure decreases the surface of the Earth is bottom of the ocean of the are the layer on top increase pressure so that sea levels a body is under 14.7 pounds of pressure per square inch moving up in altitude decreases weight of the air that causes the pressure

WINSTONCH [101]
1) is called 3-methyl hexane because we choose the longest possible continuous chain which has 6 carbons and start numbering from the side that gives the branch lowest possible number.

2) is called 2-methyl-2-butene because we have to give the double bond lowest possible number but in this case double bond in position 2 from both sides so we start from the side gives the branch number 2 not 3

3)  is called 7-Ethyl-4-decyne because we have to start from the side that gives the triple bond lowest possible number which is 4 and the branch will be at position 7 (note that the name of 10 carbon is incorrectly written in the choices is called decane (as alkane) or decyne when contains triple bond)

4) is called 2,3-Dimethyl pentane because it is 5 carbons (pentane) and we have two branches of the same alkyl (dimethyl) in positions 2 and 3

5) is called 1-Butanol because it contains 4 carbons and has one OH as functional group which take the suffix -ol in position 1 so we said the name as 1-butanol (remember to give the functional group lowest possible number)

6) is called propyl butyl ether because the longest chain is 4 carbons which called butyl and the smallest chain is propyl, it also has another name 1-Propoxy butane <span />
