How might a molecule with two strong bond dipoles have no molecular dipole at all?

1 answer:

5 0

A molecule with two strong bond dipoles can have no molecular dipole if the bond dipoles cancel each other out by pointing in exactly opposite directions. For example, in carbon dioxide (a linear molecule), the carbon-oxygen bonds have a <span>large dipole moment. However, because one dipole points to the left and the other to the right the dipole is cancelled.</span>

<h3>Explain oxidation?</h3>

The oxidation state, also known as the oxidation number, is an atom's hypothetical charge if all of its bonds to other atoms were fully ionic.

The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in an ion equals the ion's charge.

A substance's more electronegative element is given a negative oxidation state. The one that is less electronegative is given a positive oxidation state.
