Question

when a molecule is negatively charged at one end and positively charged at the other end, the molecule is said to have... options: specific heat, polarity (image shows h₂o with o (red, negative) and two h (blue, positive with + signs))

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the definitions:

• Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance, not related to molecular charge distribution.
• Polarity in a molecule means having a separation of electric charge, resulting in a positive end and a negative end (dipole), which matches the description.

Answer:

B. polarity
