Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.

What is the concentration of the hydroxide ion given that the concentration of the hydronium ion?
Sergio039 [100]

The concentration of the hydroxide ion given that the concentration of the hydronium ion 1.0 times 10^-14 M. The reverse mathematical method used to determine the pOH can be used to get the hydroxide ion concentration from the pOH. How many hydroxide ions are there in a solution with a pOH of 5.70, for instance.

Calculate 10-5.70, or "inverse" log, on a calculator (- 5.70). It indicates that one hydroxide ion is produced by one part of the NaOH solution. Because of this, the molar concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution is the same as the molar concentration of the NaOH.
