What is a result of the unequal electron sharing in a water molecule?
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
C. The potential energy change for a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
The reaction coordinate q illustrates, graphically, the energy changes during exothermic and endothermic reactions. This graphical representation of the energy changes in the course of a chemical reaction is known as reaction coordinates. A reaction coordinate is a graphical sequence of steps by which the reaction progresses from reactants through activated complexes to products. Reaction coordinates explain how far a reaction has proceeded towards the products or from the reactants.
From the images attached below, we can see the reaction coordinates in the reaction profiles.
