What is a result of the unequal electron sharing in a water molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Katarina [22]4 years ago
4 0

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.

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1 what phrases best describes t
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

According to the electronegativity table, whenever there a difference of more than 2.0 then the bond formed will be ionic in nature. On the other hand, if electronegativity difference is less than 0.5 then the bond formed will be non-polar covalent in nature.

As it if given that electronegativity difference of given elements will be as follows.

        Electronegativity difference = 3.1 - 0.9

                                                       = 2.2

Since, the electronegativity difference of given elements is 2.2. Hence, these elements will form an ionic bond.

Thus, we can conclude that mostly ionic in character and formed between a metal and non-metal best describes the bond between these elements.
