A Mineral is any occurring, inorganic, crystalline substance ( normally an element or a compound) that possesses a fairly definite chemical composition and a distinctive set of physical properties. They are formed naturally in the Earth, they are usually solid, inorganic, have a crystal structure, and form naturally by geological processes.
The radius of a chlorine ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom because the effective nuclear charge decreases, therefore the inward force decreases, increasing the ionic radius.
Answer: a rule that describes a pattern in nature.
Explanation:
Answer:
For H-Cl, the direction is towards the chlorine atom
For F-CH3, the direction is towards the flourine atom.
Explanation:
The dipole moment is a vector quantity. This implies that it has both magnitude and direction.
Thus, the direction of the dipole moment always points from the positive atom towards the negative atom.
This explains the fact that it points to chlorine in HCl and points to flourine in F-CH3
