chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction

The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule?
True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
What is the bond between the hydrogen atoms of hydrogen gas in which electrons are shared equally?
In a water molecule, oxygen (which is a quite more electronegative than hydrogen), tends to attract electrons close to it, so it gets a residual negative charge, while hydrogen gets positively charged.That's the reason why water has a high boiling temperature, because water molecules establish electrostatic bonds, between the oxygen and hydrogen from different molecules, creating a kind of net of interactions, which make it harder to evaporate it.
Most of waters unique properties result from the fact that water molecules?
They are electrically attract each other and form hydrogen bonds. One of the strongest intermolecular forces.
Hydrogen bonding is a type of?
Hydrogen bonding is when two water molecules get close enough and the hydrogen bonds in the molecule form a bond to other oxygen bonds. The reason this occurs is because to the charges in the elements. The hydrogen bonds have a slight positive charge while the oxygen bonds have a slight negative charge. They connect because opposite charges attract.
What happens when hydrogen's electron gets close to the valence shell of a fluorine atom?
When hydrogen and fluorine atoms bond, a permanent net dipole forms resulting from hydrogen being covalently bonded to the fluorine as hydrogen bonds form. the hydrogen bond is the strongest type of intermolecular force since the hydrogen nucleus is extremely small and positively charged and fluorine is very electronegative so that the electron on the hydrogen atom is strongly attracted to the fluorine. this leaves a highly localised positive charge on the hydrogen atom and highly negative localised charge on the fluorine. this means the electrostatic attraction between these molecules will be greater than for the polar molecules that do not have hydrogen covalently bonded to either fluorine. because the fluorine atom is unstable, as is the hydrogen, because they have not filled up their valence shell, they bond together quickly, and because of their opposing charges, very strongly. have a look at some online animations, with will become very clear to you. (-) (-) (-) (strong hydrogen bonds) (-) F ----------------------------------------… H (+) (-) (-) it looks a little bit like that, the (-) negative charges on the fluorine attract the positive (+) charge on the hydrogen, forming in hydrogen bonds (----). The fluorine has 7 electrons and the (---) is where both H and F share the electron.
What is the primary attractive force among the polar molecules in liquid hydrogen chloride?
Polar molecules have a positively charged pole and a negatively charged pole. The positively charged pole of one molecule will attract the negatively charged pole of another molecule, in accordance with Coulomb's Law.
Does helium attract hydrogen molecules?
no. it does not
Why is hydrogen chloride (HCl) polar?
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is polar because Cl has more electronegativity they attract more ionic bond.So,due to the electronegativity difference it is polar.
What allows water molecules to attract other water molecules?
Dipole-Dipole Forces of attraction
Why is the boiling point of water high compared to hydrogen chloride?
Water and hydrogen chloride are both polar compounds (which is to say, the molecule has both positive and negative poles) but water is more polar than hydrogen chloride. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than chlorine does, and consequently, there is a greater difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen than there is between chlorine and hydrogen. Consequently, there is a greater concentration of electrons at the oxygen atom than at the chlorine atom in these two molecules. Polarity then leads to attraction between molecules (which align themselves so that negative poles can attract positive poles) and greater attraction between molecules will result in a higher boiling point.
What is intermolecular hydrogen bonds?
A positive hydrogen atom has a tendency to attract more negative atoms like oxygen. Intermolecular bonds can be within molecules or between molecules.
How are water molecules like magnets?
water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
Why do solid crystals of salt dissolve so readily in water?
Salt disassociates in water because hydrogen molecules are slightly positive charge and pulls away the chloride ions (a negative charge ion) and the oxygen molecules are slightly negative charge and will attract the sodium ions (a positive charge ion) dissolving the sodium chloride into the water.

True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
Which molecules help to regulate the bodys acid base balance?
Proteins (-) attract hydrogen (+).
Do positively charged objects attract each other?
no,they do not attract.
When are the most hydrogen bonds likely to reform between water molecules in a lake?
The most hydrogen bonds are formed when temperatures on the lake drop to freezing. The molecules spread out and attract to each other in a dipole effect.
