Ksju [112]4 years ago

Hello!

A polar molecule is where one of the atoms in a molecule has a slight positive charge, and another has a slight negative charge, due to the unequal sharing of electrons.

Water is one of these molecules - the electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom in the center, and less around the hydrogens, so the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge, and the oxygen a slight negative.

Therefore, your answer is B, water has a slight negative and a slight positive charge at opposite poles.

Hope this helps!

Consider a toxin (with the ability to bioaccumulate) used on the insects. If the insects are exposed to this toxin, explain how
NNADVOKAT [17]

Concentrations of this toxin are found in the ant as well as in the lizard and the bird, as they are part of the same food chain. The lizard eats ants and the bird eats the lizard. This phenomenon is called biomagnification.

Biomagnification refers to the cumulative increase in concentrations of a persistent substance as one moves up the food chain (trophic chain).

Biomagnification is therefore a process in which the concentration of a substance present in a biotope increases throughout a food chain; by extension, the result of this process.
