What is the oxygen atom of a water molecule?
Oxygen atoms in water molecules are the same as oxygen atoms in any other molecules; the definition of an oxygen atom is that it is an atom which has eight protons in its nucleus. Normally it has eight neutrons and eight electrons as well, but that can vary. It is only the eight protons which define it as oxygen.
Is ice organic or inorganic?
Polarity of a molecule is not related to whether or not a molecule is organic or inorganic. A polar molecule is a molecule that has a slightly negative charge on one portion and a slightly positive charge on another portion; a nonpolar molecule is a molecule that is balanced and neutral throughout. An example of a polar inorganic molecule is water (H2O) - there is a slight positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. An example of a nonpolar inorganic molecule is carbon dioxide (CO2) - this molecule is neutral throughout. An example of a polar organic molecule is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) - there is a slight negative charge around the hydroxyl group. An example of a nonpolar organic molecule is octane (one of the components of gasoline) - this molecule is neutral throughout.
How many molecules of oxygen is need to make water?
None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.
Why Oil and water are immiscible?
water is a polar molecule (i negative hydrogen side and a positive charged oxygen side because of the share of electrons in a covalent bond) and oil has non-polar carbon and hydrogen bonds. water is only able to dissolve compounds that are polar. since oils have no polar ends water cannot dissolve it.
What does polarity have to do with oil and water?
The molecules of water, due to their asymmetrical shape, have a slight negative charge at one end of the molecule (O) and a slight positive charge on the other (H2). Which means water is polar. Oil molecules are symmetrical (generally speaking) and are thus neutral in charge over the whole molecule, making them non-polar. Polar liquids will only dissolve in other polar liquids, and likewise with non-polar liquids. Hence the separation of oil and water.
Is water the only molecule that is polar?
No, water is not the only molecule that is polar.
What particles around the atom have negative charge?
only the electrons have a negative charge but they go around the nucleus
Does a lithium ion have a negative charge?
No. only a +1 charge.
What are two molecules with charged ends?
Molecules that have charged ends are polar. The poles are only slightly charged, so they do not have the strength of ions, so they do not form chemical bonds with one another, however they do form weak attractions with one another. Water is the classic example of a polar molecule. The oxygen atom is larger and more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. So the oxygen end of a water molecule has a slight negative charge and the hydrogen end has a slight positive charge. The oxygen atom of one water molecule will form a weak attraction with a hydrogen atom of another water molecule. This type of attraction is called a hydrogen bond.
What is the charge on a solute molecule surrounded by a hydration shell of water?
Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.
What is the charge on HClO?
A positive 5 charge, because there are 3 oxygens with a negative 2 charge, we know this because in almost every case Oxygen has a negative 2 charge. Making oxgen have a total negative 6 charge, and we know the molecule ClO3 have a negative one charge, thus making Cl to have a positive 5 chage to make the overall charge negative 1. To make sure, we know that hydrogen has a positive 1 charge, and since there is only 1 H atom we know that ClO3 has a negative 1, from which, shows we have done the work right, proving Cl has a positive 5 charge.
What kind of molecule has two positive atoms attached to a positive atom?
There is no such thing. A positive molecule will only be attracted to a negative molecule.
