What else can I help you with?
Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?
Yes, a molecule of oxygen (O2) is larger than a molecule of hydrogen (H2) because an oxygen atom has a larger atomic radius and can form stronger bonds with other atoms, resulting in a larger molecule size.
Why do oxygen molecules move slowly than hydrogen molecules at the same temperature?
Two gasses at the same temperature have the same amount of average kinetic energy per molecule. Since an oxygen molecule has about 16 times the mass of a hydrogen molecule, it must move faster than a hydrogen molecule with the same kinetic energy. This is based on the equation KE=1/2MV2
Hydrogen bonds are weaker than the bond that holds hydrogen to oxygen in a water molecule?
Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. The bond between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule is a covalent bond, caused by the sharing of electron pairs between the two atoms. Hydrogen bonds are formed between a hydrogen atom of one molecule and an electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) of another molecule, and are weaker than covalent bonds.
When an oxygen molecule attaches to two hydrogen atoms which one is positive?
Under normal conditions, an oxygen molecule, which contains two oxygen atoms, does not attach to two hydrogen atoms. In a water molecule, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, both covalent bonds between oxygen and hydrogen are polar, with the oxygen end of the bond more often negative than either of the hydrogen ends.
Why does the oxygen in a water molecule have a negative charge?
Oxygen attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen does.
The hydrogen side of a water molecule is?
The hydrogen side of a water molecule is positively charged. This is because the oxygen atom in water is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the electrons to be closer to oxygen, leaving the hydrogen atoms with a slight positive charge.
Is water a molecule or a ionic compound?
Water is a molecule composed of covalently bonded hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It is not an ionic compound because the hydrogen and oxygen atoms within water share electrons rather than transferring them.
What causes the water molecule to have a negative charge?
The water molecule does not have a negative charge. The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, and tends to hold the shared electrons more tightly than the hydrogen atoms.
Does water have more hydrogen or oxygen in it?
By number of atoms it has more hydrogen, by mass it has more oxygen. Each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. However, a typical oxygen atom has about 16 times the mass of a typical hydrogen atom.
Is hydrogen more than oxygen in universe?
Yes, there is more Hydrogen than anything else in the universe. Most molecules which contain Oxygen also contain Hydrogen, and there is usually more Hydrogen than Oxygen within the molecule already, for example Water, H2O (There are exceptions, such as Oxygen, O2 and Ozone, O3)
Does a water molecule have more protons than electrons?
No, a water molecule contains the same number of protons and electrons. In a water molecule (H2O), there are 10 protons (2 from each hydrogen and 8 from oxygen) and 10 electrons (2 from each hydrogen and 8 from oxygen).
What is the term for a molecule that has two times the amount of hydrogen than that of the oxygen in the molecule?
Water is one such molecule, being H2O. The molecules of sucrose and glucose also have the same two to one ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Sucrose is C12H22O11, and glucose is C6H12O6.
