Why is water a molecule polar?
Water is a polar dipole because it is composed of chemical elements which form a differential electrical charge across the molecule due to unequal sharing of its electrons.
Which red line shows the same action spectrum corrected for the unequal number of photons emitted across the visible spectrum?
The red line in the second graph shows the same action spectrum corrected for the unequal number of photons emitted across the visible spectrum.
What type of molecule can be used as a tunnel to move compounds across the cell membrane?
Lipid molecule
When a partial electrical charge exists across a molecule it is called a?
Ionic compound
Why is a fluorine molecule not a polar molecule?
In a molecule of water, you have a bunch of unshared electrons on the oxygen side of the molecule (the negative end) and no electrons and two hydrogen nuclei on the hydrogen end (the positive end.) This makes for very strong polarity, since a positive end and a negative end can be thought of as poles. Fluorine, on the other hand, is a diatomic element consisting of two fluorine atoms covalently bonded together. This means each of the two fluorine atoms contribute one electron to the bond. The remaining six from each atom are on the other side of the molecule from the bond. Six on one side and six on the other means no difference in charge across the length of the molecule, so there are no poles.

Is AlF6 3- Polar or nonpolar?
Nonpolar Well, if you begin by drawing the Lewis Structure you will see that there is an octahedral shape (the six single bonds). Now fill in the empty space with your valence electrons and each of the Fluorines should be filled. This means that there is an equal charge across the entire molecule and there are no poles, this indicates a nonpolar molecule.
What causes polarity in water molecule?
When a highly electronegative atom is attached to a less electronegative atom, then the former one attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself. Such a molecule is polar molecule. Polarity of molecule means the product of charge on molecule and the distance between the atoms.
What is a sampling distribution?
The sampling distribution for a statistic is the distribution of the statistic across all possible samples of that specific size which can be drawn from the population.
Which red line shows the same action spectrum corrected for the unequal number of photons emitted across the visible spectrum?
The red line in the second graph shows the same action spectrum corrected for the unequal number of photons emitted across the visible spectrum.
Why does naphthalene dissolve in organic solvents but does not dissolve in water?
naphthalene is only made of two types of atom: carbon and hydrogen. There is little difference in electronegativity between these atoms (how well they can pull on electrons) so there is an equal distribution of electron density across the molecule, thus being NON-POLAR. Water on the other hand is comprised of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, between which there is a large difference in electronegativity. This means that there is an imbalance of charge across the molecule resulting in water being POLAR. a polar molecule is unable to interact with a non-polar molecule as they don't 'have anything in common' in terms of their charge distribution. Naphthalene will dissolve in petrol due to petrol being a non-polar solvent.
What type of molecule can be used as a tunnel to move compounds across the cell membrane?
Lipid molecule
How many nanometers across is the molecule of paper and what is this molecule made of?
there is no "paper" molecule... rather a combination of starches and protein links e.t.c.
What is a positively charged object?
It will repel other positively charged entities and attract all negatively charged entities.
What uses a protein to move a molecule across a membrane without energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
What happens to valence electrons as you move across the row?
The number of valence electrons increases.
How do the number of electrons change across the period of elements?
they get more electrons the farther right the get
