Answer:

Oxygen : 6.3

Carbon : 4.3

Explanation:

The steps to calculate the Zeff is :

1)  Write  the electronic configuration.

Carbon: 1s2 2s2 2p2

Oxygen: 1s2 2s2 2p4

2) there are two core electrons in each atom and four in carbon and six in oxygen.

(1s) (2s2p)

3) as mentioned the shielding of electrons within the same shell is negligible.

4) for electron of s or p orbital  the shielding contribution by the electrons having a principal quantum number less by one would be 0.85 each. And all electrons further left would contribute an amount of 1.0 each.

5) For oxygen:

Zeff = Z - S

S = 2X0.85 = 1.7

Zeff = 8- 1.7 = 6.3

For carbon

Zeff = Z - S

S = 2X0.85 = 1.7

Zeff = 6- 1.7 = 4.3

Water is a polar molecule, meaning the electrons that are shared between the atoms aren't shared equally so oxygen attracts more
amm1812

Answer:

Magnet with a positive and a negative pole

Explanation:

A great analogy to demonstrate what a polar molecule looks like is to imagine a magnet. A magnet has one positively charged end and one negatively charged end, two poles, that is.

Imagine that we have a magnet of a shape of a prism (water molecule has a bent shape). The two base vertices of the face of the triangle are positively charged, that's because hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and, hence, the two hydrogen atoms are partially positively charged in a water molecule.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen meaning it has a greater electron-withdrawing force, so electrons are closer to oxygen within the O-H bonds. Oxygen, as a result, becomes partially negatively charged, so it's our negative pole of the magnet.
