This is called an induced dipole.
Let's say HCl, which is polar (which means the electrons like to hang out on one side more than the other), comes close to a C2 molecule. C2 looks like this C=C.
If the H-Cl comes close, the negative electrons in C2 will be attracted to the Hydrogen (because it's positive), just slightly. This will make C2 polar, because of its proximity to a polar molecule.
What else can I help you with?
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
What examples of dipole induced dipole forces?
An example of dipole-induced dipole forces is the interaction between a polar molecule, such as water, and a nonpolar molecule, such as nitrogen. The polar molecule induces a temporary dipole in the nonpolar molecule, creating an attractive force between the two molecules. This type of interaction helps explain why some substances can dissolve in water even if they are nonpolar.
Is hydrophilic a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar?
Yes, hydrophilic is a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar. Hydrophilic molecules are polar, while hydrophobic molecules are nonpolar.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
Why does non polar molecules repel water molecules?
Because it is like a magnatizing ordeal so to say and it just bounces of non polar molcuels. :)
Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
Is artificial flavor polar or nonpolar?
Artificial flavors can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on their chemical structure. Some artificial flavors may have polar functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups), making them polar molecules, while others may have nonpolar structures, making them nonpolar molecules.
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
Would a non polar molecule dissolve in a polar molecule?
Nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve better in other nonpolar molecules due to similar intermolecular forces, while polar molecules dissolve better in other polar molecules. This is because like dissolves like - molecules with similar polarity tend to mix well together. Generally, nonpolar molecules do not dissolve easily in polar solvents.
If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together they will form what?
If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together, they will not mix and will form separate layers due to their different polarities. This is because polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules, while nonpolar molecules are attracted to other nonpolar molecules.
Do polar and nonpolar molecules interact?
In general, polar molecules interact more strongly with other polar molecules (due to dipole-dipole interactions) and nonpolar molecules interact more with other nonpolar molecules (via London dispersion forces). However, there can be exceptions depending on the specific molecules involved and the conditions of the interaction.
