Introduction :
The force that holds the substances together is called a chemical bond.
Answer to Problem 31A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (C) It is composed of ionic bonds.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (C) It is composed of ionic bonds. Water is a molecule formed by covalent bonds that link two hydrogen atoms with an oxygen atom. Water has a bent shape and the electrons are not shared equally between hydrogen and oxygen, therefore hydrogen bonds form among the molecules. So, the correct answer is option (C).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (A) It has a pH of 7.0. pH is the measure of concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Pure water is neutral and has a pH value of 7.0. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (B) It is composed of polar molecules. Molecules that have an unequal distribution of charges are called polar molecules. Polarity is the property of having two opposite poles i.e. they have oppositely charged regions. The water molecule has an unequal distribution of electrons. In addition, the bent shape of water makes the oxygen end of the molecule slightly negative and the hydrogen end of the molecule slightly positive. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (D) It is a good solvent. There are two components in a solution- solvent and solute. The solvent is a substance in which another substance is dissolved. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in the solvent. An example of a solution is salt water. Water is known as a universal solvent as many substances can be dissolved in it. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.

The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?arrow_forwardHow do I determine the inhertiance pattern from the pedigree diagram?arrow_forward
