The shape of the H2O molecule is a Bent Triatomic.
It isn't symmetrical.
The H2O molecule is polar.
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answers are in the explanation.

Explanation:

Analyze the form of H2O: The water molecule is composed of an oxygen atom, linked to two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom shares one pair of electrons with each hydrogen atom, leaving two pairs of free electrons in the oxygen without sharing.

What is the shape of the H2O molecule? The pairs of unshared electrons exert a repulsion, so the molecule acquires the angular shape.

Is it symmetrical? The H2O molecule is asymmetric due to free electron pairs.

Does this mean that the H2O molecule is polar or non-polar? Does this mean that the molecule is polar, as the uneven distribution of electrons gives it a slightly negative charge near the oxygen atom and a slightly positive charge near the hydrogen atoms.

Have a nice day!

Write the formula for potassium oxide. why do you not need prefixes in the name ​
Molodets [167]

Potassium oxide: K₂O.

There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Find the two elements on a periodic table:

  • Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
  • Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.

Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.

  • Potassium is a metal,
  • Oxygen is a nonmetal.

A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:

  • Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
  • Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion \text{O}^{2-} when it combines with metals.

The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each \text{O}^{2-} ion is twice that on a \text{K}^{+} ion. Each \text{K}^{+} would pair up with two \text{O}^{2-}. Hence the subscript in the formula: \text{K}_{\bf 2}\text{O}.

There are two classes of compounds:

  • Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
  • Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.

Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide \text{CO}_2, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula \text{CO}_2. However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as \text{K}_2\text{O}.

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

I think the answer correct is C because you never know in what temperature the block of ice is going to melt but if it says select all that apply its possible that B might be useful.
