Dipole interactions are observed in covalent bonds. In ionic bonding, permanent transfer of electrons occurs and due to this dipole-dipole interactions are not observed. In covalent bonding, electron cloud is shared between 2 atoms. If this electron cloud is not shared equally between them, polarities are formed in a molecule. And hence we say that the molecule is polar. For a molecule to be polar, there should be electronegativity difference between them. Atom with greater electronegative attracts electron cloud more towards itself whereas atom with lesser electronegative attracts electron cloud less. But there is no permanent transfer of electrons. Due to this electronegativity differences, atom with more electronegative gains partial negative charge and atom with lesser electronegative value gains partial positive charge. The charge is partial because there is no complete transfer of electrons.

3. Give an example of how carbon is transferred frem being in a living to a non-living<br> organism.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

Why does galium melt
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).

- It melts once it reaches its melting point.
