Answer:

The O atom will tend to attract the electrons.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of O (3.5) is much higher than H (2.1), which means it is more likely to attract electrons. The higher the electronegativity, the more attractive.

What kinds of intermolecular forces are present in a mixture of ethanol (ch3ch2oh) and water?

Svetllana [295]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

A solution of water and ethanol contains the dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonds as the intermolecular forces between molecules.
Hydrogen bonding is a type of interactions between molecules that occurs when a partially negative atom such as oxygen end of one of the molecules is attracted to a partially positive hydrogen end of another molecule.
Dipole-dipole forces results from the unsymmetrical distribution of electrons, thus the polarity does not balance, thus resulting to a dipole attraction between molecules.

Which of the following elements would be predicted to be the best conductor of electricity? sodium (Na) germanium (Ge) sulfur (S

lubasha [3.4K]

Na because its a metal. Metals are the best conductors. S and Ne are nonmetals. and Ge is a metalloid. (Metalloids are semi conductors)

Why was mass lost from the crucible during the reaction?

Alexxandr [17]

If the crucible wasn't covered with a lid the reactants may have produced a gas that was released into the surroundings, or mass may have been lost in the form of water vapour.
