Answer:
Sodium (Na): (.5 point)
22.99+35.453=58.433. 22.99/58.433= 39%
Chlorine (Cl): (.5 point)
22.99+35.453=58.433. 35.453/58.433= 61%

Answer:
See explanation below.
Explanation:
Dipoles are molecules that have partial charges. It happens because of the difference in electronegativity of the elements. This property is the tendency that the atom has to take the electron to it, so, in the covalent bond, the shared pair of electrons is easily found at the more electronegativity atom, and so, it has a partial negative charge, and the other, a partial positive charge. This is a natural dipole.
If the difference of electronegativity is 0, or extremely close to 0, then the molecule is nonpolar, and so the molecule doesn't have partial charges. But, to be joined together and form the substance, the partial charge must be induced, so it's an induced dipole.
