Hydrogen bonding allows water molecules to stick together. Although it is considered to be a weak bond, the special properties of hydrogen bonding allows water to be useful in MANY different circumstances. Hydrogen bonding in water allows it to be the universal solvent. It also keeps water molecules together so that we have actual water instead of gas (imagine a world without liquid H2O).

How important in geometry in your life?

It's great importance of geometry as far as everything is measured in some way and in civil structures as buildings and properties geometry has great importance so there's no disaster.


Importance of geometry?

Learning geometry is important because it embraces algebra, trigonometry, Pythagoras' theorem, properties of a triangle, properties of a circle, properties of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes, coordinated geometry .... and so much much more


How does the bonding of Graphite explain Graphite's lubricanting properties?

Graphite only forms 3 covalent bonds and is arranged in layers so the layers can slide over each other easily.


Why cl does not form hydrogen bonding?

Chlorine (Cl) does not form hydrogen bonding because it does not have a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to it. Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. Chlorine lacks these properties and thus does not participate in hydrogen bonding.


What is the importance of extranuclear part of the atom when its mass is almost negligible?

The "extranuclear part" (interesting term, by the way) of the atom is, essentially, the electrons. The electrons determine the chemical properties (and, to a certain extent, the physical properties). So they're very important indeed.


Do killer whales live in Australian waters?

Orca's live in all waters around the world. Mostly cold waters ^^ So there might be a chance they live in Australian waters too.


How many non-bonding electrons does phosphorus have?

Phosphorous has a total of 15 electrons, and of those, 3 of them are valence shell, or bonding electrons. So, 12 electrons are core electrons, and are non-bonding.


Is John Waters dead?

Openly so.


What is the importance of valence electrons in the organization of the periodic table?

The importance of valence electrons is that atoms in the same group ("groups" in the periodic table are the vertical columns- for example, nickel and platinum are in the tenth column; therefore, in the same group). Atoms of elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, so they have similar properties. Hope that helped with your homework! ;D


Does chlorine become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?

Chlorine becomes a negative ion in the process of bonding; ionization and bonding are simultaneous, so no, it does not happen before bonding.


Why are the properties of different compounds so different from each other?

because not all elements and compounds react with each other


How many C-O pi bonds are in water?

None. Water does contains only hydrogen and oxygen, so there is no carbon. Further more, all the bonding in water is sigma bonding; there is no pi bonding.
