What two factors determine whether a molecule is polar or not?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

electronegativity of bonded atoms and shape.

Explanation:

if the shape of molecule is symmetric it will non polar. The polar molecules are trigonal in shape.

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion and compound is polar.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive and compound will polar.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

A. How many protons, electrons, and neutrons make up an atom
mestny [16]

Answer:

45 neutrons

Explanation:

Bromine has 35 protons and a mass number of 80. a) How many neutrons does the atom of bromine have? The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80 and 35 protons so 80-35 = 45 neutrons.

Which of the following are true statements about equilibrium systems? For the following reaction at equilibrium: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(
Grace [21]

Answer:

The first, third and fourth statements are correct.

Explanation:

1) For the following reaction at equilibrium: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s) + CO2(g) adding more CaCO3 will shift the equilibrium to the right.

⇒ Le Chatellier says As the CaCO3 concentration is increased, the system will attempt to undo that concentration change by shifting the balance to the right. <u>This statement is true.</u>

<u />

2) For the following reaction at equilibrium: CaCO3(s)⇌ CaO(s) + CO2(g) increasing the total pressure by adding Ar(g) will shift the equilibrium to the right.

⇒ Le chatellier says that if we increase the pressure, the equilibrium will shift to the side with the least number of particles.

Since the molar densities of CaO and CaCO3 are constant, they don't appear in the equilibrium expression. This is why only changes to the pressure (concentration) of CO2 affect the position of the equilibrium.

If the pressure in the container is increased by adding an inert or non-reacting gas, nothing happens to the amounts of CO2, CaO or CaCO3. The added gas won't affect the partial pressure of CO2. <u>This statement is false. </u>

3)For the following reaction at equilibrium: 2 H2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 H2O(g) the equilibrium will shift to the left if the volume is doubled.

⇒ Le Chatellier says if we increase the pressure, the equilibrium will shift to the side with the most particles.

In this case we have 2 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2 on the left side and 2 mole of H2O on the right side. This means on the left side are more particles. So the equilibrium will shift to the left, so <u>this statement is true.</u>

4) For the following reaction at equilibrium: H2(g) + F2(g) ⇌ 2HF(g) removing H2 will increase the amount of F2 present once equilibrium is reestablished. Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction shifts the equilibrium position to the right.

⇒ Le chatellier says if H2 will be removed (this means the left side will get less particles) so the equilibrium will shift to the left, to increase the amount of F2.

⇒Le chatelier says if we increase the temperature of an exotherm reaction , there will be less energy released. The equilibrium will shift to the side of the reactants (the left side).

If we increase the temperature of an endotherm reaction, the equilibrium will shift to the side of the products (the right side). <u>This statement is true.</u>

9.25 * 10^21 pennies if how many moles
Brrunno [24]
According  to  Avogadro constant   1  mole  =  6.02  x   10^23    what  about   9.25  x10  ^21

that  is    1  mole  x   (  9.25  x10  ^21)  /  (6.02 x10^23)  =  0.0154  moles
