-Just look up “H2O lewis structure
-1.5
-Don’t know the VSEPR
-Polar Covalent
-Again, don’t know VSEPR
-Just look up H2O molecule
Answer:
True; When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the
molecule is electropositive (δ+), it is said to have a dipole moment.
Explanation:
A dipole moment exists in a molecule as a result of differences in the electronegativity values between the atoms of the elements involved in the chemical bonding.
When a strogly electronegative atom such as oxygen or chlorine is chemically bonded to a less electronegative or an electropositive atom such as hydrogen, there is an uneven sharing of the electrons involved in the bonding. The more electronegative atoms tends to draw the shared electrons mostly to themselves. This induces a partially negative charge (δ-) on them while leaving the electropositive atoms with a partially positive charge (δ+).
Water is an example of a molecule having a dipole moment. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen and as such draw the shared electrons to themselves more, inducing a partial positive charge (δ+) on the hydrogen atoms while they themselves develop a partial negative charge (δ-).
Answer:
X= Be
Y= B
Z=O
Explanation:
From the description of the compound XCl2, among the options listed only beryllium can form such compound with three lone pairs in the two chlorine atoms and no lone pair on the central atom X.
From the description of YCl3, only Boron among the options listed can form such a compound with no lone pair on the central atom and three lone pairs on each of the chlorine atoms.
From the description of ZCl2, only oxygen forms the compound OCl2 among the elements listed where oxygen possesses two lone pairs and each chlorine atom possesses three lone pairs each.
