Question

question 2 of 10 examine the molecular models of two different substances below. in the molecule on the left, the electrons are not shared equally. in the molecule on the right, the electrons are shared equally. water molecule, h₂o oxygen molecule, o₂ what is the result of mixing the two substances shown here together? a. they are not attracted to each other, because water contains an ionic bond. b. they are attracted to each other, because they are both polar. c. they are not attracted to each other, because one is polar and one is nonpolar. d. they are attracted to each other, because they are both nonpolar.

Explanation:

Water ($H_2O$) is a polar molecule as electrons are not shared equally. Oxygen ($O_2$) is a non - polar molecule as electrons are shared equally. Polar and non - polar substances are not attracted to each other due to differences in their electrical charge distribution.

Answer:

C. They are not attracted to each other, because one is polar and one is nonpolar.
