Biology

Ksju [112]3 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!

what happens to ocean water as it moves from antarctica to the equator? it transfers thermal energy to deeper layers of the ocea
muminat
Ocean waters has its own level of density which depends of the climate, temperature and most of all the location where it came from. The more the ocean water absorbs heat the more its density as a result it rises above from cold to hot. So the the water from the Antarctica usually is less dense and then become more dense when it goes to the equator which is more hot.
