Can anyone explain dipoles in chemistry?

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A dipole refers to a bond in which its two ends have opposite charges. A dipole results from a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms in a bond.

For instance, consider the bond between hydrogen and chlorine in HCl. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The significant electronegativity difference between the two atoms leads to a charge separation.

A partial positive charge appears on the atom that is less electronegative (hydrogen) while a negative charge appears on the more electronegative atom (chlorine).

This charge separation occurs because the shared electrons of the bond are more closely attracted to chlorine making it partially negative compared to hydrogen. A dipole moment now exists in the H-Cl bond hence the molecule is said to have a dipole.

Explain the changes that take place at the molecular level when a substance is superheated or supercooled ?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Only gas or vapor can be superheated. Use water as an example. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees F. When heated to 212 degrees F, the molecules that make up water are moving at a high enough speed that they overcome the air pressure above the water. And for supercooled only liquids or solids can be supercooled for example Liquid water at sea level has a saturation (boiling) temperature of 212 degrees F. If we were to add heat to the saturated water, it would first boil away with no change in temperature (remember latent heat?) and then become superheated if still more heat were added to the vapor (steam) after it had all turned to a vapor.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

3Ag^(+) + 3Cl ^(-) --> 3AgCl (s)

Explanation:

Full ionic equation:

3Ag^(+) + 3NO3^(-) + Al^(+3) + 3Cl^(-)-->

3AgCl (s) + Al^(3+) + 3NO3^(-)

Spectator ions 3NO3^(-) & Al^(+3) can be left out in the net ionic equation.
