Why is the brcl molecules polar??

Chemistry

Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

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>

Oil is more dense than water. How will this affect the weight of objects that will float on it?
horrorfan [7]
Oil is more dense than alcohol, but less dense than water. The molecules that make up the oil are larger than those that that make up water, so they cannot pack as tightly together as the water molecules can. They take up more space per unit area and are less dense.

Two processes of plant reproduction are described below.
Stells [14]

Answer:

Process 1 is pollination and Process 2 is germination

Explanation:

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.

Germination refers to the process by which an organism grows from a seed or a spore. The most common forms of germination include a seed sprouting to form a seedling and the formation of a sporeling from a spore. Thus, germination occurs primarily in plant and fungal species.

I hope this help :)

good luck
