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

Chemistry

1 answer:

Katarina [22]3 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.

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.

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 43.6% phosphorus

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

d. P2O5.

Explanation:

We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:

P : 43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076

O: 56.4 / 15.999 = 3.5252

1.4076 : 3.5252

= 1 : 2.5

= 2:5.

So the answer is P2O5.

To determine the age of fairly recent fossils and organic artifacts, it is possible to analyze the amounts of the isotopes 14C a

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).

Explanation:

Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).

Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:

$^{14} C \rightarrow\ ^{14} N\ +\ e^- +\ neutrino$

After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.
