nds formed by equal sharing of a pair of electrons are called covalent bonds because there is a uniform charge across the molecule along all axes.

Explain why scientists use shared characteristics to make cladograms.

What three things determine the shape and size of a puddle when water is poured out onto a surface

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane? a. the central oxygen atom in water has two lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has no lone pairs. b. the central hydrogen atom in water has one lone pair of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has two lone pairs. c. the central oxygen atom in water has four lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has only one lone pair. d. the central oxygen atom exerts more repulsive force on surrounding atoms than the central carbon atom in methane does. reset next
