Answer:
The right choice is c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.
Explanation:
The unequal sharing of electrons in water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom ( see image below) and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms. A neutral molecule that has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial negative charge at the other, it is a polar molecule.
so
a. Water molecules have a nonpolar bond.
It is wrong choice because water has polar bond .
b. Water molecules have a weakly positive oxygen end.
Also, a wrong choice due to water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom.
c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.
This is the right choice.
d. Water molecules have two oxygen and two hydrogen atoms
It is wrong choice because water has one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms
<u>So, the right choice is</u>
c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.
Whats the question? I need to know to help....
Regenerating is the answer
Here we have to choose the correct statement behind the polarity of the water molecule.
The polarity of the water molecules is due to the B. deflection of the hydrogen atoms by the lone pair of electrons.
The bonding of the water (H₂O) molecule is shown in the figure. There remain two lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons among which 2 are involved to make the covalent bond with two hydrogen atom.
The lone pair if electrons exerted lone pair-bond pair repulsion and H₂O has a bent structure as shown in the figure. In this way the dipole moment generated by oxygen and hydrogen cannot be nullified and it has a permanent dipole moment which leads the molecule to be polar in nature.
The water molecule is not linear in nature it has bent structure.
There is a huge difference of electronegativity between the hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atom. The oxygen atom is highly electronegative whereas the hydrogen atom is electropositive in nature.
The hydrogen bond formation is due to the fact the molecule is polar in nature.
The oxidation state of N changes from +2 to 0 while that of C changed from +2 to +4.
<h3>Oxidation and reduction</h3>
Oxidation is defined as an increase in oxidation number of the addition of oxygen while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number or removal of oxygen.
In the reaction shown by the equation, the oxidation number of N in NO changed from +2 to 0 in 
while that of C in CO changed from +2 to +4 in 
.
Thus, NO is acting as the oxidizing agent while CO is acting is the reducing agent.
