Why is OCl2 polar? And how do you find the polarity of long organics like propane and acetone?

1 answer:

5 0

In this problem, we are asked to prove that OCl2 is polar. The VSEPR model of OCl2 is bent. Cl has an electornegativity of 3.16 while O has an electronegativity of 3.44. In this case, we add the two individual dipole moments because they are vectors. Since the sum is equal to greater than 0.5, the molecule should have to be polar.

W = mg

Weight on Earth = 50 x 9.8
= 490 N

Weight on Mars = 50 x 3.7
= 185 N

The surface air pressure on the planet mars is about 0.007 atm. if you were standing on mars, the surface air pressure would be

Lelu [443]

Surface air pressure is a consequence of the weight of the air acting on its surface. For example, if you are standing on Mars, the pressure around you is what you call the surface air pressure. Thus, that surface air pressure must be 0.007 atm.
