Question

Can anyone answer this for me?

A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom arranged in a bent shape. Since oxygen is significantly more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atoms have a much stronger attraction to shared electrons than does hydrogen. This unequal sharing of electrons and bent shape results in water being called a _________________ .
A) polar molecule

B) magnetic molecule Eliminate

C) ionic molecule

D) covalent molecule

Answer 1

polar, because the O-H bonds are polarized (the electrons spend more time near the oxygen)

Answer 2

Thank you :)
