Answer:

The correct answer is option d. a polyatomic anion.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The ending "ate" or "ite" indicates that there is a negative polyatomic ion (polyatomic anion). This means that the termination of the name will indicate the valence number of the element, if the number used is the highest or the lowest.

An example is:

CO-3: is the carbonate ion

SO-4: is the sulfate ion

We conclude that the correct answer is option d. a polyatomic anion.

Water molecules have a polarity, which allows them to be electrically attracted to other water molecules and other polar molecul

-BARSIC- [3]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Water molecules have a polarity, which allows them to be electrically attracted to other water molecules and other polar molecules by weak chemical bonds known as <u>Hydrogen Bond</u>.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a <em>partial +ive</em> hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen) of one molecule interacts with the <em>partial -ive</em> most electronegative atom of another molecule. These interactions are considered the strongest intermolecular interactions and are responsible for many stronger physical properties of water like, boiling point, viscosity, solubility e.t.c.

Attached figure shows the hydrogen bond interactions (green dashed lines) between water molecules. The partial charges are shown in red color.
