Thanks @jhamm, can you clarify the relative thing?

No, oxygen attracts more electron density...it's more electronegative than C

And also Cu(NO3)2...Cu^2+ and NO3 ^-1, remember the charges come down, so that's how you get Cu1(NO3)2

I don't know if I've interpreted your question correctly but, 1. yes, C has less electronegativity than oxygen. Remember, the electronegativity trend increases as you go up and to the right of the perioid table..so an arrow towards fluorine. ch3 2. Tertiary...

How exactly does the rapid movement of molecules translate into what we feel as "heat"? and if heat energy is the movement of molecules..isn't it just kinetic energy? Thank you
