Please help i have a midterm tommorow
1 answer:
A polar bond is formed with atoms having different electronegativities. The bonding electrons are attracted more towards the atom with greater electronegativity resulting in unequal sharing of electrons. Therefore the molecule develop partial charges and becomes polar. Polar molecules have dipole moment that is the partial charge on molecules due to differences in electronegativity between atoms.
A non-polar bond is formed with atoms having the same electronegativity, hence the bonded pair of electron is shared equally between atoms. Non-polar molecules have no moment.
Note that: symmetrical molecules having polar bonds are non-polar because the dipoles of the bond exert equal and opposite effect. Hence the dipoles cancel the charges.
Example: HCl
In HCl, Cl is more electronegative therefore Cl atom pulls the electron pair of the covalent bond towards itself and develops a partial negative charge. Consequently H develops a partial positive charge. This therfore leads to the formation of a dipole.

The negative log function that determines the acidity or alkalinity by hydronium ion concentration is called pH.
The substance having high will have:
Option B. A low and a high
This characteristic can be explained as:
- The concentrations of
and
are inversely dependent on each other so when the concentration of raises then the concentration of
- The pH of a solution or substance is calculated with the help of:
From the formula, it can be deduced that when the concentration of is high then the pH has a low value and it means that the solution is acidic.
- pH can also be written as:
From this formula we can that when the value of pH is less then the value of pOH will be increased and vice versa.
Therefore, when pOH is in high concentration then is low.
