An element is defined as a pure substance that is not chemically combined with any other elements. An element comprises of mainly the sane type of atoms.

While a compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements which are chemically combined together. This is the main difference between an element and a compound.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17x10^-30 C.m. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole m

valkas [14]

Answer:

There are other details missing in the question. i.e Assume that x is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis E = p/2πε0y3 can be used, where p is the dipole moment, and y is the distance between ions. A) What is magnitude______N B) Direction? +x-direction or -x-direction C) Is this force attractive or repulsive?

A) Magnitude of electric force = 6.576 x 10 raised to power -13 N

B) Since the force direction is always dependent on the electric field and electric field = F/q, since the chlorine has a negative charge as such the direction of the electric force will be in the X - direction

C) Since the charges are of different nature, as such the force between them will be ATTRACTIVE.

Explanation:

The detailed steps is shown in the attachment
