Which statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule?

1 answer:

8 0

The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. This is because of the electronegativities of the atoms O and H. O is more electronegative than H so electrons are more often around the O atom. Electrons are negatively charged, so this causes the partial negative charge on the O atom, similarly, the "deficiency" of electrons around the H atoms cause partial positive charges because the nuclear charge (protons) isn't balanced to the number of electrons around it.

Hope this helps :)

Would passive or active immunity protect you from a bacterial infection you have head before?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

active immunity

Explanation:

Active immunity is the form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its own antibodies against infections. When infectected by a bacterial infection that had happened before, one will not become seriously ill. This is because memory cells are able to recognise the antigens and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the pathogens.

A study was done to examine the personal goals of elementary school children. a random sample of 500 students was selected from

aleksley [76]

Since we wish to test the null hypothesis that gender and personal goal are independent. Under the said null hypothesis, the expected number of boys that would select "be good at sports" would be the same more or less with the girls that would select "be good at sports". The difference in their means would be set to zero for this null hypothesis.
