Question

Which of the following is a

result of water being a
polar molecule?
A. The water molecules REPEL one another because of
their OPPOSITE charges on sides of the molecule.
B. The water molecules REPEL one another because of
their SAME charges on sides of the molecule.
C. The water molecules ATTRACT one another because
of their SAME charges on sides of the molecule.
D. The water molecules ATTRACT one another because
of their OPPOSITE charges on sides of the molecule.

Answer 1

The answer is D
The water molecule is H2O
Water has two positive charge Hydrogen and one negative charge Oxygen. They attract to each other because they to go have their valence electron filled in order to be stable.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, it wants 8 in order to be stable. By bonding with two Hydrogen, it would fill the valence electron.

Answer 2

D. The water molecules ATTRACT one another because of their OPPOSITE charges on sides of the molecule.
