What else can I help you with?
Why water generally has a neutral pH even though water molecules dissociate?
The number of cations and anions is identical.
What Is the overall charge on a molecules of water?
According to one physicist I know, most of the time the overall charge of a molecule of water is neutral.
What charge does a molecule have?
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.
Is solute molecule negatively charged in water?
Not necessarily. Solute molecules can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged in water. The charge of the solute molecule depends on its chemical structure and the presence of any functional groups that can interact with water molecules.
If a water molecule is neutral why does it attract polar molecules?
Water molecules have a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom, causing it to be a polar molecule. This polarity allows water to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules, such as those containing oxygen or nitrogen, leading to attraction between water and other polar molecules.
Can molecules be positive or negative?
No; molecules by definition must be electrically neutral.
Why does water generally has a neutral pH even though water molecules dissociate?
Water has a neutral pH of 7 because the number of hydrogen ions (H+) produced by dissociation is equal to the number of hydroxide ions (OH-) produced, resulting in a balance of acidic and basic ions. This self-ionization of water maintains a neutral pH in pure water.
What differentiates molecules from ions?
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
Is water a neutral?
Yes, water is neutral.
What happens to blue litmus in a NaCl solution?
Water is made of tiny molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is essential for all living creature. Pure water has no colour, tase and any smell. Water exists in three forms on earth liquid, solid and gas. Human Body is made of about 60% of water and about 71% of the earth surface is covered with water.
What happens to the paricles of sugar when a sugarcube is dissolved in water?
the sugar particles turn into ions which attach to the polar molecules of water Each sugar molecule does not become an ion. Each sugar molecule is charge neutral and thus has no charge. When sugar is dissolved in water, the water pulls the sugar molecules apart from each other and the individual sugar molecules no longer touch each other. Each sugar molecule is surrounded by water. The forces between molecules are responsible for this. The polar shape of water molecules is what governs the separation.
What types of molecules are bonded covalently?
neutral molecules, atomes with similar electronegativity range
