A polar bond is formed with atoms having different electronegativities. The bonding electrons are attracted more towards the atom with greater electronegativity resulting in unequal sharing of electrons. Therefore the molecule develop partial charges and becomes polar. Polar molecules have dipole moment that is the partial charge on molecules due to differences in electronegativity between atoms.
A non-polar bond is formed with atoms having the same electronegativity, hence the bonded pair of electron is shared equally between atoms. Non-polar molecules have no moment.
Note that: symmetrical molecules having polar bonds are non-polar because the dipoles of the bond exert equal and opposite effect. Hence the dipoles cancel the charges.
Example: HCl
In HCl, Cl is more electronegative therefore Cl atom pulls the electron pair of the covalent bond towards itself and develops a partial negative charge. Consequently H develops a partial positive charge. This therfore leads to the formation of a dipole.
Answer:
polymerization
Explanation:
Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.
Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.
Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.
For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.
Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.
Answer:
B. materials change their properties.
Explanation:
In a chemical change, materials often change their properties because a re-arrangement of atoms takes place.
A chemical change is one in which new kind of matter is formed.
It is always accompanied by energy changes.
- Chemical changes are not reversible.
- They lead to the production of new kinds of matter
- It involves mass changes
- Requires considerable amount of energy
Increase in temperature makes the atoms speed up, and decrease in temperature makes the atoms move slower.
