Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.

Chemistry

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.

a 1.642 g sample of calcium bromide is dissolved in enough water to give 469.1 mL of solution what is the bromide ion concentrat
aleksklad [387]

The bromide concentration in this solution of calcium bromide dissolved in enough water to give 469.1 mL is 1.75 × 10-⁵M.

<h3>How to calculate concentration?</h3>

The concentration of a solution can be calculated by dividing the number of moles of the substance by its volume.

No of moles of calcium bromide is calculated as follows:

moles = 1.642 ÷ 199.89 = 8.215 × 10-³moles

Molarity = 8.215 × 10-³moles ÷ 469.1mL = 1.75 × 10-⁵M

Therefore, the bromide concentration in this solution of calcium bromide dissolved in enough water to give 469.1 mL is 1.75 × 10-⁵M.

How have ideas about the atom changed in the last two centureies?
dsp73
In the past a scientist named dalton produced an atomic theory. There were certain problems regarding his views. So, later on scientists like chadwick, rutherford and thompson added some fresh light for the real identification of the atom.
dalton said the atom was the smallest unit and it CANNOT BE DIVIDED ANY FURTHER.
NOTE... this was renected with the discovery of the proton, neutron and electron as the sub atomic particles.

Are changes in the orientation of earths magnetic field
g100num [7]

Magnetic reversals

Explanation:

A change in the orientation of the earth's magnetic field is known as magnetic reversals.

During a magnetic reversal, the geographic south pole aligns with the magnetic north.

The geographic north pole aligns with the magnetic south.

  • The geomagnetic field of the earth is produced by the movement of metallic minerals in the outer core.
  • This streaming of metallic minerals generals electric current that induces a magnetic field.

Write a mechanism for the esterification of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Show clearly the fate of the 18O label. (b)
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

See explanation and images attached

Explanation:

a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.

b)  In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
