Answer:

In water hydrogen bonding formed between partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between hydrogen (H), which is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.

In water molecule hydrogen and oxygen have difference in electronegativity, due to which dipoles are form. One is partial positive on hydrogen atom and other is partial negative on oxygen atom. The electrostatic attraction occur between two oppositely charged poles which is known as hydrogen bonding.

How do balanced chemical equations show the conservation of mass

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: Matter cannot be created or destroyed

Explanation: Balanced equations are set equations we cannot change one element or compound in the equation without changing the entire equation. So balanced equation show the conservation of mass because while other substances may be formed from the synthesis or decomposition of compounds new elements are never introduced and are not created out of thin air :)

Which best explains why ionization energy tends to decrease from the top to the bottom of a group?

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Electrons are far apart from the nucleus as we move down the group.

Explanation:

The ionization energy is the amount of energy which is necessary to remove an electron from an atom.

In an atom there exist a force of attraction at the center (nucleus). This is because of the positive charge which exists in the nucleus. This force of attraction is less felt as the distance between the electron and the proton increases. Hence the ionization energy increases as the number of shells increases for an atom. As we move down the group in the periodic table, the number of shells increases which implies a decrease in ionization energy.
