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!

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The plants in the light formed bubbles because they released oxygen gas, This is because bubbles that are formed takes the places of oxygen molecules O2. Oxygen is released during photosynthesis through the process called light-dependent reaction.  The light-dependent reaction occurs only in the presencee of light. So, if bubbles formed are equivalent to oxygen molecules released in light-dependent reaction, then it is expected for bubbles to be found only on the leaves on those plants that were in a well-lit room.
