Explanation:

A molecule which have two atoms attached to it is known as a diatomic element.

For example, $N_{2}$ is a diatomic molecule because it has two nitrogen atoms attached to it.

HCl is also a diatomic molecule and the bond between this molecule is formed by sharing of electrons. Thus, it as a covalent bond. Also, chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen atom. So, Chlorine will attract an electron from hydrogen more towards itself in order to complete its octet.

Thus, there will be formation of partial negative charge on chlorine and partial positive charge on hydrogen atom. Therefore, HCl molecule is polar in nature.

Hence, we can conclude that the degree of polarity of diatomic molecules is directly related to the difference in electronegativity.

The degree of polarity of diatomic molecule is related to the difference of electronegativity of the two atoms. If the difference is very large, i.e. one atom is highly electronegative and the other atom is highly electropostive then, the covalent bond is formed. But if the difference between the electronegativities is very less, then its likely that ionic bond is formed.

Your town is having a meeting about whether or not to allow residents to build solar panels on their houses. Many people are aga

julsineya [31]

Putting solar panels on houses is a great idea, for it provides a renewable source of energy and heat, which is the sun. It will help prevent pollution and the mass-use of non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, which are used and burned for energy.

Although, having solar panels, there will be some downsides. For example, solar panels can only receive energy during time where there is light from the sun, which is daylight. therefore, the solar panels will not and cannot be able to collect energy from the sun during night time. although, depending on the solar panels, some can store energy, from the sun, that can be used at night time, like as if you're charging a battery with energy from the sun for later use. one big problem is that, solar panels are not cheap and rather quite expensive, which not all homes and families can afford. although, through time, solar panels will get cheaper.

but, all in all, I believe that solar panels give a great contribution to Earth, thus I agree to the use of solar panels.
