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>

How many atoms are present in 65.39 g of zinc?
klio [65]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 65.39 g Zn ( 1 mol / 65.38 g ) ( </span>6.022 x 10^23 atoms / 1 mol ) = 6.023x10^23 atoms Zn

How many moles of HNO3 are present if 4.90×10−2 mol of Ba(OH)2 was needed to neutralize the acid solution?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

0.098 moles

Explanation:

Let y represent the number of moles present

1 mole of Ba(OH)₂ contains 2 moles of OH- ions.

Hence, 0.049 moles of Ba(OH)2 contains y moles of OH- ions.

To get the y moles, we then do cross multiplication

1 mole *  y mole = 2 moles * 0.049 mole

y mole = 2 * 0.049 / 1

y mole =  0.098 moles of OH- ions.

1 mole of OH- can neutralize 1 mole of H+

Therefore, 0.098 moles of HNO₃ are present.

If the symbol X represents a central atom, Y represents outer atoms, and Z represents lone pairs on the central atom, the struct
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The correct option is: bent 109°

Explanation:

Covalent molecules are the molecules in which the atoms are linked by covalent bonds. The electrons involved in the formation of a covalent bond are known as shared pair or <u>bond pair of electrons</u>.

The three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms of a molecule in space is known its molecular structure or geometry.

<u>Given molecule</u>: XY₂, having two lone pairs around the central atom X.

Since the molecule XY₂ has <u>two lone pairs</u> and <u>two bond pairs</u> of electrons. Therefore according to the VSEPR theory, the given molecule has a <u>bent molecular geometry with 109° bond angle.</u>
