B. protons
D. electrons

Answer 1

A digital video recorder (DVR) being 'hogged' by one member of the family is similar to how oxygen 'hogs' electrons in a water molecule allowing it to form polar covalent bonds with hydrogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A digital video recorder (DVR) being 'hogged' by one member of the family is similar to how oxygen 'hogs' electrons in a water molecule allowing it to form polar covalent bonds with hydrogen.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the electrons are drawn towards oxygen, resulting in oxygen acquiring a slight negative charge and hydrogen acquiring a slightly positive charge. This unequal sharing of electrons is what makes the water molecule polar.

Thus, the correct answer is C. polar covalent bonds.
