Answer:
B
Explanation:
because polarity of the water molecules is due to the B. deflection of the hydrogen atoms by the lone pair of electrons.
Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
From the mechanism shown, the major product of the reaction is (S)-(+)-2-octanol.
<h3>What is an SN2 reaction?</h3>
An SN2 reaction is one in which there is an inversion of configuration and the attack of the nucleophile occurs from behind the substrate.
As shown in the mechanism attached here, the major product of this reaction is (S)-(+)-2-octanol.

Physical properties of matter
Answer:
Potential energy
Explanation:
The thrown baseball is converting from kinetic energy into potential energy. When it finally stops at a particular height, it attains its maximum potential energy at the position or point.
- Potential energy is the energy at rest of body.
- Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body.
The more a body speeds, the higher its kinetic energy attained.
As a body comes to rest, at a height, it attains potential energy.
The body during flight decreases in kinetic energy but increases its potential energy due to gravity pulling it to rest.
