Water ionizes because: Select one: The smaller electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, l

eaving the proton to dissociate. The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The smaller electropositive oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The larger electropositive oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. Water does not ionize well.

Answer:

The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that forms a covalent bond i.e. share electrons. However, due to the fact that the oxygen atom in a water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen molecule, it tends to draw electrons towards itself, leaving the hydrogen atom more positive. This causes the POLARITY of water.

To ionize means for the atoms of a compound to dissociate into electrically charged ions (positive and negative) in an aqeous solution. Water is able to ionize because the more electronegative oxygen atom draws the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton (H+) to dissociate.

How many atoms of each element are in NaCI?<br><br><br> |___| sodium <br><br> |___| chlorine
gogolik [260]

Answer:

There are 2 atoms in NaCl. This is because there is 1 atom of Na (sodium) and 1 atom of Cl (chlorine) in each NaCl molecule. Elements by themselves do not have a "number of atoms"- if you're talking about the atomic number, it's the number of protons (or electrons in a neutral atom) of an element.

Atmospheric pressure at the summit of mount everest is about one third the pressure at sea level, which is 760 mm hg. if oxygen
vichka [17]
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg.
We have been told that at the summit the pressure is only one third the pressure at sea level.
Then the pressure at the mountain top is \frac{760}{3} mmHg
Air is made of a mixture of gases. the pressure that each gas exerts individually contributes to the total pressure of the system. The pressure that each gas exerts is the partial pressure of that gas which depends on the mole fraction of that gas or percentage composition of the individual gas.
Partial pressure of Oxygen - total pressure x percentage composition
Therefore pO₂ - \frac{760 * 0.21}{3} = 53.2 mmHg
Answer is 53 mmHg
