The correct answer is C, too deep in the Earth to collect. Hope this helps!
The best answer between the two choices would be the first option TRUE because the scientific method is used to do more advance research and investigation on things.
Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.
Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).
Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.
Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.
Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.
Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.
Oxygen atom has six valence electrons
, two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.
Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.
Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².
In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.
