Answer :
Example of polar covalent molecules H-O-H(water), ammonia
Explanation:
The presence of intermolecular Hydrogen bonding makes the boiling point of water unexpectedly high, and the polar covalent nature makes it dissolve polar solute/compound
Answer:
Explanation:
The constituent of a water molecule is one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atom. Oxygen is highly electronegative ( ability to pull electron closer to itself in a covalent bond) compare to hydrogen and as such it creates two poles with oxygen been partially negative and hydrogen been partially positive. This attributes allow water to dissolve polar substances such sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide. When this substance are added to water, they are pull apart with positive sodium ion attracted to the partially positive oxygen and the chloride ions attracted to the partially positive hydrogen.
The polarity of water ice is able to float in water because of the polar nature as the molecules is extended as far as possible and are held together by the hydrogen bond. Water expands when its freezes and it density decreases
The polar nature also of its molecules also contributes to its high boiling, freezing point and strong surface tension.
