Why is NH3 polar but CH4 non polar

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons. That would mean that NH3 is minus at the left end in this case.

 H

:N  H

H

Methane has its Hs 90 degrees (approximately apart.

    H

H  C  H

    H

The pulling forces on the methane cancel each other out. When that happens the chemical is non polar.

How might a molecule with two strong bond dipoles have no molecular dipole at all?
Reil [10]
 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>

1. We have new knowledge of how charge can be transferred from one object to another
NeX [460]

Charge can be transferred from one object to another in three way conduction, polarization, and friction

Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged and three ways this can occur are referred to as conduction, polarization, and friction conduction means when there is direct contact between materials that differ in their ability to give up or accept electrons when two different materials are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material and this causes one object to become positively charged (the electron loser) and the other object to become negatively charged (the electron gainer)

Here given object is water + balloon; balloon + wall; tape then you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon the wall is now more positively charged than the balloon and we tested the conductivity of deionized water positively charged

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.
