What is the concept of polarity due to?
Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes: - differences of asymmetry between these molecules - differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule
Does boiling point affect the polarity of water?
No, boiling does not affect the polarity of water. What it does is create enough energy for the water molecules to separate from one another. But the water molecules are still polar.
Why is water versatile molecules?
Water is a versatile molecule because of its polarity.
What property of water molecules is specifically caused by their polarity?
specific heat
What is the polarity and molecular shape of O2?
This molecule, like all other diatomic gas elements, is non-polar and has a rod-like shape.
How is o2 and f2 similar?
Both of these are diatomic molecules which show no polarity.
The greater the difference in electronegativities in a diatomic molecule the Blank the polarity of the molecule?
greater
What causes a covalent bond to become polar?
the difference of electronegativities is responsible if this difference is between 0.5 to 1.7 bond is a polar covalent bond higher is this difference higher is polarity but it is for diatomic molecules other molecules are polar or non polar, it depends upon another factor known as dipole moment.
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
What are the examples of non-polar covalent compounds?
Essentially, the only totally non polar covalent compounds are the diatomic molecules of single elements. The polarity of all of the hydrocarbons is also very low.
Hydrogen chloride has a much higher boiling point than diatomic fluorine because?
Fluorine has small sized molecules with high electro-negativity thus the high polarity. The high polarity causes the strong bonding of hydrogen with HF molecules and needs high amount of heat to convert HF from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
Why carbon monoxide is polar?
CO is a diatomic linear molecule C=O, both these atoms have about '1.0' difference of electronegativities so it is in the range of polarity and it has a certain value of Dipole moment.
Describe the polarity of alkane molecules?
Alkane molecules are nonpolar.
How does the polarity of a substance affect how far it travels up the chalk?
because there is polarity of molecules in there
Which characteristic of water molecules makes water a good solvent?
The polarity of water results in the ability of water to dissolve other hydrophilic molecules
What type of bond results between water molecules due to water's polarity?
Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules due to water's polarity.
What is the concept of polarity due to?
Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes: - differences of asymmetry between these molecules - differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule
