What is waters characteristic shape due to

polar covalent bonding

In polar covalent bonding, electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements, slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.

In this context, water molecule is an exellent example of this type of bonding:

Water () can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds, because a water molecule consists of 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom.  

The oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Then, it can be said that a water molecule will have a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  

Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together with the formation of hydrogen bonds to attract a partial positive charge of hydrogen and a more electronegative atom, such as oxygen.

Each student aligns the edge of the object with the left edge of the ruler as shown above. all four students read the ruler with a measurement of 4.6 cm. which statement describes the data they collect? i believe the answer is: the data have poor precision and poor accuracy because of a systematic error.

There was no intial y-momentum so the net final y-momentum must also be 0. they can have final velocities in the y-direction
