To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:
1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms
2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.
You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O
Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.
The lewis structure just show this shape
** **
H - O - O - H
** **
which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.
But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.
The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.
So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.
The basic building blocks of proteins are the amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in a protein that we consume and the protein in our body. These amino acids link together to form large molecules. The 20 amino acids are divided into two groups called the essential and non-essential amino acids.
How to calcutate concentration of solution.
there is 12gram of solute in a 36 gram solution
then you take 12 divided by 24 because 36-12=24 which is youe solvent
Answer:
The reason that the balloon shrinks is because when the temperature drops, helium becomes more dense then it already is. So what happens is that its molecules lose energy, slows down and moves closer together to conserve heat and this decreases the volume inside the balloon because the helium molecules are moving closer together, rather than outward toward the shell of the balloon which cause the balloon to swell then shrink. The gas law that causes this to happen is the Charles law.
