Why does the chlorine atom have a partial negative charge in a molecule of hydrogen chloride?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:The molecule is represented by the conventional Lewis structure, even though the shared electron pair is associated to a larger extent with chlorine than with hydrogen. The unequal sharing of the bonding pair results in a partial negative charge on the chlorine atom and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom.

lukranit [14]

Answer:NO

Explanation:

No the mold should not be of the same size as that of sculpture because the material from which molds is made may shrink or expand depending upon its properties .

For example grey cast iron shrinks on cooling.

We need to make mold bigger in general so that if there is a need of finishing it can be done easily without altering the size of sculpture.

What is relative density?

Artemon [7]

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.

When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
