- Use the periodic table and Table 4.4 to determine which of the following bonds will be polarized. Show the resulting charge distribution in those molecules that contain polarized bonds. a. b. c.arrow_forwardHydrogen gas and oxygen gas react violently to form water. When this occurs, a very loud noise is heard. Draw the Lewis structures for hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and water. State whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar and why. Explain how the polarity of these molecules is related to hydrogen and oxygen existing in the gas phase at room temperature and water existing in the liquid phase at room temperature. Which is lower in energy for this reaction a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases or water? How do you know this is true?arrow_forwardConsidering the position of the elements in the periodic table and their relative electronegativities and bond polarities, which bond is longest? a. carbon - Oxygen triple bond b. carbon - Oxygen single bond c. carbon - Carbon single bond d. carbon - Carbon double bond e. carbon - Nitrogen triple bond Which bond is the strongest? a. carbon - Nitrogen triple bond b. carbon - Nitrogen double bond c. carbon - Hydrogen bond d. carbon - Carbon triple bond e. carbon - Carbon single bondarrow_forward
