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.

Why does the solar system consist of small planets orbiting close to sun and larger on more distant
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system,  the  inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun.  The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.  The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an  asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets.  If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking.  The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.
