The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
each oxygen shares two electrons, resulting in 4 electrons shared
Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.
No, the opposite occurs. As the oxygen atom is much larger, it has a bigger 'pull' on the shared electrons, creating an uneven distribution of electrons known as a permanent dipole. No, Oxygen pulls the electrons more strongly than the Hydrogen, resulting in a partial negative charge on the Oxygen, and partial positive charges on the hydrogens.
2 electrons are shared in a water molecule. Duuuhhh.

Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.
counting the shared electrons, 8.
when compared to oxygen, fluorine has greater electronegativity (greater attraction for shared pair of electrons).
Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms, Four valence electrons are shared.
In water molecules there are 2 atoms of hydrogen of and 1 atom of oxygen present. each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron with the oxygen atom. So the total number of electrons shared with oxygen are 2,total no. of electrons shared by hydrogen is 2 and the total no. of electrons shared by each hydrogen atom is 1.
No, the opposite occurs. As the oxygen atom is much larger, it has a bigger 'pull' on the shared electrons, creating an uneven distribution of electrons known as a permanent dipole. No, Oxygen pulls the electrons more strongly than the Hydrogen, resulting in a partial negative charge on the Oxygen, and partial positive charges on the hydrogens.
2 electrons are shared in a water molecule. Duuuhhh.
Diatomic oxygen has 6 valence electrons each and so has to share 2 pairs in order to satisfy the octet rule.
