1 D (Debye) ~ 3.34 x 10^-30 C m (Coulomb meters), therefore the dipole moment of HF =

1.91 x 3.34 x 10^-30 = 6.38 x 10^-30 C m

What kind of intermolecukar forces are in hf?

Hydrogen fluoride, with the chemical formula HF, is a colorless gas that is the principal source of fluorine. The type of intermolecular forces that exist in HF are London forces, dipole-dipole.


Which has a higher boiling point HI or HF?

HF is electronegative compared to O2. HF has delta plus and delta minus creating a dipole moment, it is a polar molecule therefore it has a higher boiling point. O2 which is symmetrical and non polar (looks like O=O) and therefore has no dipole moment.


An electric dipole placed with its axis inclined at an angle to the direction of a uniform electric field experiences?

It experiences a torque but no force. As the dipole is placed at an angle to the direction of a uniform electric field it experiences two opposite and equal forces which are not along the same line. This develops a torque which aligns the dipole along the field. The dipole does not experience any force as the two forces cancel each other.


If a magnetic dipole is placed in a magnetic field the dipole is found to have both rotational and translational motion.what would you infer about the magnetic field?

Dipole not aligned with B field = rotational motion B field not constant along field direction = translational motion


Why Nh3 and Nf3 has high dipole moment?

This is because in ammonia the direction of resultant dipole is towards lone pair and hence it has high dipole moment but in case of NF3 the direction of resultant dipole moment is opposite to the lone pair and hence the dipole moment gets less.

What is direction of the arrow representing the dipole moment of the molecule BrF?

From Br to F


Which has a higher boiling point HI or HCl?

HI has a higher boiling point because of the dipole-dipole Intermolecular forces as well as the dispersion forces, which become more evident with molecular weight, which will dominate over the dipole-dipole forces, so HCl has a lower boiloing point.


Application of dipole moment?

A dipole moment is defined as the mathematical product of the separation of the ends of a dipole and the magnitude of the charges. Dipole moments are created by the separation of charge over a molecule. Some common molecules with dipoles are H2O, HF, NH3, etc...


Which orientation of an electric dipole in an uniform electric field would correspond to unstable equilibrium?

So interesting query! As we keep the dipole with its dipole moment along the direction of the electric field then it will be in stable equilibrium. IF we keep the same dipole inverted ie its dipole moment opposite to the external field then the dipole will be in unstable equilibrium.


What is the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric field strength due to it on axial line?

direction-along the axis of dipole from -q to +q.


What is the direction of the dipole moment expected for methanol?

It should be pointed towards the oxygen.


What is the relationship between a polarity and hydrogen bond?

Polar molecules have a dipole moment and they have intermolecular forces that include dipole-dipole interaction. A hydrogen bond is the attraction between a hydrogen bonded to N, O, F atom with N, O, F lone pair. Small molecules that exhibit this effect are HF, H2O and NH3. The example molecules are all polar. The hydrogen bond interaction is stronger than a normal dipole-dipole interaction.


Is this a dipole dipole bond ch2o?

There is a vector pulling electron density from the carbon to an oxygen atom in only a single direction, therefore formaldehyde does indeed exhibit a dipole dipole bond. Carbon dioxide on the otherhand is a nonpolar molecule. Although it has two oxygen atoms pulling electron density from the carbon, the fact that the pulling in of equal magnitude but opposite direction effectively cancels out the polarity of the bond.
