Why is the brcl molecules polar??

Chemistry
2 answers:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
6 0

The electronegativity value of Br and Cl is 2.8 and 3.0 respectively.  

The electrinegativity difference in the Br-Cl bond is 3.0 – 2.8 = 0.2

If the electronegativity difference is below 0.5 the covalent bind is nonpolar

If the electronegativity difference is between 0.5 and 2.0 the covalent bond is polar.

If the electronegativity difference is above 2.0 the bond is ionic  

As the electronegativity difference is below 0.5 the Br-Cl covalent bond is nonpolar

<span>Because there is a permanent dipole between the Br and Cl atom. The Cl atom has a higher electronegativity, so it will tend to pull the "shared" electrons formed in the bond to its pole, creating a permanent dipole and partial electron deficiency on the bromine atom.</span>

Urea makes up a significant amount of urine, and is the chemical that the body uses to rid cells of unwanted carbon dioxide and
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Urea is highly soluble in water. When it is allowed to dissolve in water in the presence of heat, it will yield ammonia and carbon dioxide. The reaction is shown below:

<span>NH2-CO-NH2 + H2O </span>⇒ 2 NH3 + CO2

As you can observe in the stoichiometric equations, 1 molecule of water can dissolve with 1 mole of urea.

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄

The sun’s core is made of solid rock. True or false
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Heres what its made of:

The core is made of hot, dense plasma (ions and electrons), at a pressure estimated at 265 billion bar (3.84 trillion psi or 26.5 petapascals (PPa)) at the center. Due to fusion, the composition of the solar plasma drops from 68–70% hydrogen by mass at the outer core, to 34% hydrogen at the core/Sun center.
