Can anyone explain dipoles in chemistry?

Chemistry

slavikrds [6]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

a.The waves are absorbed or reflected to capture images

Explanation:

How Things Work: TSA scanners use electromagnetic waves for detection. ... These waves are bounced off the body of the person being scanned to create a three-dimensional image on the computer. The backscatter units instead bounce low-level electromagnetic X-rays off the body to create an image on the computer
