Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

When hydrogen is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom.
Highly electronegative atoms attract shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, resulting in a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom. The slightly positive hydrogen atom is then attracted to another electronegative atom, forming a hydrogen bond.

Romashka [77]

In an electrolytic cell, the electrode that acts as a source of electrons to the solution is called the <u>cathode</u>; the chemical change that occurs at this electrode is called <u>reduction</u>.

<h3>Define Electrolyte:-</h3>

An electrolyte is a material that separates into charged ions when it is in contact with water. Cations are positively charged ions. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. A substance that may conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water is known as an electrolyte.

<h3>Electrochemical cell </h3>

There are three main categories of electrochemical cells. the galvanic cell, the concentration cell, and the electrolytic cell. These cells all share the same four fundamental components. These are the elements

The electrolyte serves as the conduit for current flow between the anode and the cathode. In an aqueous solution, it normally is homogeneous, but in moist soil, the concentration or kind of dissolved compounds may vary locally.
The anode, which can conduct electricity and is in contact with the electrolyte, corrodes when it combines with the chemicals in the electrolyte.
A metal also contacts the electrolyte at the cathode. It is protected from corrosion rather than corroded.
Anode and cathode are connected by the conductor, which also completes the circuit.
