Which of the following explains the VSEPR geometry of a water molecule? A. It is tetrahedral because there are four bonded pairs around oxygen.
B. It is bent because there are four bonded pairs around oxygen.
C. It is tetrahedral because there are two bonded pairs and two lone pairs around oxygen.
D. It is bent because there are two bonded pairs and two lone pairs around oxygen.

what is the general relationship between a galaxy's distance from earth and its speed?

the answer is:

the farther away a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
