Which formula represents a polar molecule
containing polar covalent bonds?
A. H2O
B. CO2
C. NaCL
D. Cl2

A. H2O

Explanation:

Let us first define the three types of bonds:

1. Nonpolar Covalent: electronegativity difference < 0.4

2. Polar Covalent: electronegativity difference between 0.4 and 1.8

3. Ionic: electronegativity difference > 1.8

This will help us eliminate choices C and D:

-NaCl has a electronegativity difference of 3.0 - 0.9 = 2.1 (ionic bond)

-Cl2 has a electronegativity difference of 3.0 - 3.0 = 0 (nonpolar covalent bond)

However, we still have two more options, A and B, but they are not diatomic for us to use the electronegativity differences with.

We must now consult their geometries. Because CO2 has a linear geometry (O=C=O), the two sides will cancel each other out, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond. At this point, by process of elimination, we can already determine the answer to be A. H2O. We can verify this by looking at the geometry of H2O, which is bent (H-O-H; imagine the O is above the H's, I cannot draw it in this response). H2O's bent geometry classifies it as polar covalent; the electrons are slightly more attracted towards the O, the more electronegative element. Side note: this makes the O slightly more negative in charge, whilst the H's are slightly more positive in charge.

P.S. I apologize for not being able to draw and demonstrate that last paragraph, but I hope you get a general idea. You can search up the "H2O geometry" and "CO2 geometry" to get a better idea! :)

dishwashers don't have rights

explanation:

dishwashers are meant for one thing and one thing only: dishwashing. they belong in the kitchen making sandwiches and cleaning up for the man of their household. if your dishwasher starts acting up just slap it and wait a minute.

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).
