Water is a polar molecule, meaning the electrons that are shared between the atoms aren't shared equally so oxygen attracts more

electrons than hydrogen. What analogy best compares this?

Answer:

Magnet with a positive and a negative pole

Explanation:

A great analogy to demonstrate what a polar molecule looks like is to imagine a magnet. A magnet has one positively charged end and one negatively charged end, two poles, that is.

Imagine that we have a magnet of a shape of a prism (water molecule has a bent shape). The two base vertices of the face of the triangle are positively charged, that's because hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and, hence, the two hydrogen atoms are partially positively charged in a water molecule.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen meaning it has a greater electron-withdrawing force, so electrons are closer to oxygen within the O-H bonds. Oxygen, as a result, becomes partially negatively charged, so it's our negative pole of the magnet.

What are carbon atoms made of?
juin [17]

Atoms with six protons and six neutrons — carbon. Carbon is a pattern maker. It can link to itself, forming long, resilient chains called polymers. It can also bond with up to four other atoms because of its electron arrangement.

Answer:

4. Principal and Azimuthal (subsidiary) quantum number

5.Principal, Azimuthal (subsidiary), and magnetic quantum number

6. 10 electrons

7. 32 electrons

8. 36 electrons

Explanation:

4. Principal and Azimuthal (subsidiary) quantum number because in 4d, 4 represent principal quantum number and d- represents azimuthal quantum number (having l- value as 3)

5.Principal, Azimuthal (subsidiary), and magnetic quantum number are the first three because 2 stands for principal, s-for azimuthal (l=0) and magnetic quantum number for s- orbital= 0

6. 10 electrons, because for sublevel with l= 3, is a d-sub-level, and d- can take 10-electrons

7. 32 electrons, using the relationship 2×n^2 for the maximum number of electrons in a shell,

,n= 4 , hence 2×4^2= 32

8. 36 electrons, because n=4 and n= 3 can have the maximum configuration of [Ar]4s^2 3d^10 4p^6

This will sum up to 36- electrons, since Argon has 18 -electrons.

18+2+10+6=36 electrons
