Explain the difference between polar molecules and nonpolar molecules?

∙ 14y ago
A polar molecule has a magnetic 'direction', as it were. Its electrons are more clustered on one end, so the other end becomes positive while its end become negative. Non-polar molecules are ones where, even if there is any amount of imbalance, it's not strong enough to affect the magnetic field on that molecule.

How does the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules affect their interactions?
it makes them dissolve in water easier.
Nonpolar bonds show what electronegativity difference between atoms?
Nonpolar bonds show a Low electronegativity difference between atoms
Why is cyclohexane a nonpolar molecule The electronegativity difference between Carbon and Hydrogen is point 5 so why is it nonpolar?
Since syclohexane is a symmetrical molecule, the sum of the bond dipoles is zero and the molecules is therefore non-polar
Is I2 an ionic bond?
I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.
What molecules result from an even distribution of the electron cloud?
I think you're talking about nonpolar covalent molecules. These molecules share their electrons equally between atoms.

Nonpolar bonds show what electronegativity difference between atoms?
Nonpolar bonds show a Low electronegativity difference between atoms
London dispersion forces occur between molecules that are?
nonpolar
Why is cyclohexane a nonpolar molecule The electronegativity difference between Carbon and Hydrogen is point 5 so why is it nonpolar?

What are the physical differences between polar and nonpolar molecules?
polarity... polar is the mid- range; nonpolar is the least polar.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properies?
compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why do polar nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
What pair of molecules is not a polar Bond n o c o o h o o?
O=O Polarity is determined by the difference in electronegativity (EN) between the bonded atoms. An EN of zero is nonpolar. Since the two oxygen atoms have the same EN, their EN difference is zero, so the bond between them is nonpolar, and oxygen (O2) is a nonpolar molecule.
Explain how electronegativityaffects the polarity of a bond?
the polarity of a bond is defined by the unequal sharing of the electrons between 2 molecules. so if there is a larger difference of electronegativity between 2 molecules, it will be more polar
Is I2 an ionic bond?
I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.
