The correct statement about a water molecule, H₂O and a carbon dioxide molecule, CO₂ is: They are made from different types of atoms, combined in different ways; option D
Water molecule is a polar molecule composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.
The bond between the atoms of hydrogen and oxygen are covalent bonds but the molecule is polar due to the high electronegativity of the oxygen atom.
The shape of a water molecule is pyramidal.
Carbon dioxide molecules are composed of two atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen joined together by covalent bonds.
Carbon dioxide is non-polar and the shape of the molecule is linear.
Therefore, comparing a water molecule H₂O to a carbon molecule CO₂ shows that they are composed of different atoms arranged differently.
