Answer:

The correct statements that you must check are:

  • The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).

  • The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).

As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will  be higher around the O atoms.

Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.

Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).

Why is it difficult for hydrogen atoms to stick together
Rasek [7]

Answer:

So, the energy of two hydrogen atoms is lower when the two atoms are together than when the two atoms are apart; that is why they stay together.

In which of the following sets are the charges given correctly for all the
Ronch [10]

Answer:

B) K⁺, Sr²⁺ , O²⁻

Explanation:

Potassium is present in group one. It is alkali metal and have one valance electron.Potassium need to lose its one valance electron and form cation to get complete octet.

That's why it shows K⁺.

Sr is alkaline earth metal. It is present in group two. It has two valance electrons. Strontium needed to lose its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

When it loses its two valance electrons it shows cation with charge of +2.

Sr²⁺

Oxygen is present in group 16. It has sex valance electrons. It needed two more electrons to complete the octet. That's why oxygen gain two electron and form anion with a charge of -2.

O²⁻
