12. Why does a water molecule have a bent shape?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrej [43]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom, and its overall structure is bent. This is because the oxygen atom, in addition to forming bonds with the hydrogen atoms, also carries two pairs of unshared electrons. All of the electron pairs—shared and unshared—repel each other.

If someone takes a material that looks pure, and then they do something to it that results
Sati [7]

Answer:

The determination of the nature of the combination of the two separate materials in the original material that looks pure is based on the characteristic of the change process they undergo to become two separate materials.

Therefore, they can know if they initially had a mixture or a compound by the following steps;

1) If the two separated materials can be easily remixed to form the original material, then they likely have a mixture of the two separate materials

2) If the process that results in the formation of the two separate materials, involves the absorption or evolves heat or other forms of energy, then the original substance was a compound

3) If the two newly formed materials is seen to be a permanent change, then the original material was a compound
