Summary Introduction

To draw: The four water molecules that can form hydrogen-bond to the given water molecule and label the bonds and the partial negative and positive charges that account for the formation of these hydrogen bonds.

Introduction: A water molecule is shaped like a ‘V’ that consists of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. Thus, the shared electrons in the O-H covalent bond are more attracted by the oxygen atom.

Answer to Problem 1IQ

Pictorial representation: Fig.1 represents the four water molecules that can form hydrogen-bond for the given water molecule and label the bonds and the partial negative and positive charges that account for the formation of these hydrogen bonds.

Explanation of Solution

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons shared in a covalent bond. If one atom is more electronegative, the electrons would be more on the side of that atom. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. In a water molecule, there are two polar covalent bonds between oxygen and hydrogen. Hence, there are two regions of partial negative charge on oxygen and a partial positive charge on each hydrogen atom.

The partial negatively charged oxygen atom of a water molecule is attracted to the partial positively charged hydrogen of the other water molecule. As per Fig.1, atoms on the partial charged regions can bind to oppositely charged regions on other adjoining water molecules. There are four regions of partial charge in a water molecule. Thus, the central water molecule can form a hydrogen bonds with four other water molecules.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
