Answer: It shows whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
Explanation:
- If the potential energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, then the reaction is exothermic.
- If the potential energy of the reactants is greater than that of the products, then the reaction is endothermic.
Answer:
Since they are in a geostationary orbit, the GOES satellites provide continuous monitoring of the Earth's surface. They are able to constantly monitor the life cycle of significant weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods, and hail storms.
The modern definition of electronegativity is due to Linus Pauling. It is the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
When the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, the bond is considered ionic; i.e. there is complete transfer (between the two atoms) of the electrons in the bond. The electronegativity (according to Pauling scale) of chlorine is 3.0, while the electronegativity of sodium is 0.9.
So, electrons are transferred because of a larger electronegativity difference.
Polar is the separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole or multipole moment.
Non-polar is one in which the electrons are distributed more symmetrically and thus does not have an abundance of charges at the opposite sides.
