Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge?
o
a. water is made of two ionic bonds.
o
b. oxygen attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen does.
c. water is a nonpolar molécule.
d. hydrogen bonding pulls electrons toward oxygen.

the answer is b oxygen attract electrons more strongly than hydrogen does

B

Explanation:

Atoms of oxygen are electronegative and attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds. Consequently the electrons in the water molecule spend slightly more time around the oxygen atomic center and less time around the hydrogen atomic centers. The covalent bonds are therefore polar, and the oxygen atoms have a slight negative charge

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

youre right there are
