Why is hexane nonpolar?
hexane is made up of completely Carbon and Hydrogen molecules with the formula for n-hexane being C6H14. Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities, which means neither of them will particularily hog the shared electrons. In the case of the most known polar molecule, water, we see the water with a high electronegativity polar convalently bond with hydrogen and hold the electron closer to itself. Because of this, the positive hydrogen will weakly bond with other oxygen molecules, known as polar bonding.
How do molecule's of a polar compound differ from those of a non polar compound?
polar compounds differ from non polar in the properties of bonding.polar compounds dissociate into ionsand they have the property of hydrogen and other bonding properties where as non polar lose this property .their melting points are high because of their bonding nature they are freely soluble maximum in all solvents.bothof the differences are highly eluted in chromatography
Since atoms have charge and molecules are made of bonded atoms in a specific shape what can a high concentration of positive Hydrogen ions do to the shape of a molecule?
The electromagnetic field would draw the structure towards the Hydrogen side of the molecule, making it a polar ionic compount.
Are molecules in the compound likely to be polar or non polar if it has a relatively high boiling point compared to molecules with similar mass?
Polar molecules of smilar size to non-polar molecules have a higher melting and boiling point due to their stronger force of attraction.. eg. CO2. which is non-polar, you can can find free floating in the atmosphere whereas a polar molecule such as Water, doesn't boil until it reaches at least 100(Co) degrees. i like dump
Is sil4 polar or non polar and why?
Silica is polar.This is because of two things: first of all, each individual bond in the molecule is polar, due to the high electronegativity difference between silicon and oxygen. Secondly, the structure of silica is similar to that of water, creating two distinct sides of different charges and therefore a strong dipole.
Is benzil a polar molecule?
It might be tempting to think Benzil is a polar molecule because of the C=O bonds, but the high level of symmetry in the molecule cancels out any overall dipole and leaves the molecule non-polar.
Is tap water polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
Is CH3Br a polar or non polar molecule?
Due to C-Br bond it is slightly polar, but not very much because the electronegativities difference for carbon and Bromine is not very high.
Is sodium acetate polar molecule?
Yes.See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about how to determine if any molecule is polar or not.
Can a polar covalent compound act non polar?
NO
Is water non-polar?
All heteroatomic molecules are polar it depends on the structure of overall molecule to know whether the whole molecule is polar or not, water is polar cuz dipole between Hydrogen and Oxygen and that between Oxygen and lone pair don't cancel each other.
Is CCl4 polar or non pollar?
No. The individual bonds are polar, but the molecule as a whole is symmetric and therefore nonpolar.
Why is the electronegativity of an element important?
The electronegativity of an element is important in figuring out how polar a molecule will be. The higher the electronegativity of an element is compared to another, the more polar the molecule will be. For example, a bond between Flourine and Hydrogen will be very polar, because Flourine has a very high electronegativity, and hydrogen has a very low electronegativity.
What ia an abundant polar covalent molecule that serves as a solvent has a high heat capacity creates a high surface tension and serves as a lubricant?
H2O
Would a molecule with polar covalent bonds be soluble in water?
Yes, in chemistry polar molecules are soluble with other polar molecules. You know that water is polar because of it's structure. Two hydrogens are bonded the an oxygen. The oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that cause the molecule to have a bent VSEPR structure. This creates a net dipole due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. Essentially, the oxygen is slightly negative and the hydrogens slightly positive. So, yes your polar molecule is soluble with water (also polar).
What makes the bond in hydrogen fluoride molecule a polar bond?
Hydrogen has a low electronegativity while fluorine has an extremely high electronegativity.
