Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?

Physics
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate
