How can you which molecule is positive and negative in a dipole-dipole relationship?

1 answer:

5 0

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.

Please help I need the answer now. Write a balanced equation for combustion of pentane in plenty supply of air and in limited su

Ratling [72]

Pentane burns in plenty of air: CO₂ and H₂O is produced.

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Pentane burns in limited amount of air: CO or even C is produced along with H₂O.

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Pentane is a hydrocarbon. There are five carbon atoms in each of its molecule. Its molecular formula will be C₅H₁₂.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce CO₂ when there's plenty of air.

? C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

Among all species in this reaction, C₅H₁₂ has the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of C₅H₁₂ is one.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains C atoms. There are 5 C atoms in a C₅H₁₂ molecule. There should be the same number of C atoms in the products.
CO₂ is the only product that contains C atoms. There are one C atom in each CO₂ molecule. 5 C atoms correspond to 5 CO₂ molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + ? H₂O

Similarly, C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains H atoms. H₂O is the only product that contains H atoms. There are 12 H atoms in one C₅H₁₂ molecule, which corresponds to 6 H₂O molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Both CO₂ and H₂O are products that contains O atoms. There are 5 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 16 O atoms in total in 5 CO₂ molecules and 6 H₂O molecules. The 16 O atoms on the product side corresponds to 8 O₂ molecules on the reactant side.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

All coefficients shall be whole numbers. If there's any fraction in this equation, multiply both sides by the least common multiple of their denominators.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce H₂O and CO when there's a limited supply of air. C (soot) might also be produced. Assuming that only CO is produced. Try to balance the equation using the same method.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 11/2 O₂ → 5 CO + 6 H₂O

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

Less O₂ is consumed for each mole of C₅H₁₂.

Consider: What would be the balanced equation when only C is produced?

What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?

lubasha [3.4K]

An isomer is a compound that differs by another based on either the molecular connectivity or how the atoms are connected to each other in the compound, or by stereochemistry usually.

I believe there are total number of 5 isomers for the compound of C6H14. Hexane.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Atoms have protons and neutrons in the center, making the nucleus, while the electrons orbit the nucleus. The modern atomic theory states that atoms of one element are the same, while atoms of different elements are different.Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

The '3' informs us that the element is in the 3rd Energy Level or row of the periodic table. The 'p' tells us that the element is found in the p-block which are all of the Groups to the right of the transition metals, columns 13-18. The superscript '2' tells us that the element is found in the 2nd column of the p-block Group 14.
