What else can I help you with?
What type of molecle has water loving and water hating?
regions
What causes the polarity of a water molecule?
the unequal sharing of electrons
Why is a water molecle polar?
Water is polar due to the two sets of unbound electron pairs on the oxygen molecule which oppose the positivly charged hydrogen. This causes a dipole, a positive and negative end to the molecule.
What causes of high melting point of water?
High polarity and hydrogen bonds.
How water acts as a lubricant and transport facilitator?
The polarity of the water molecule, which causes hydrogen bonds to form between the water molecules, is the characteristic that enables it to act as a lubricant.
How does a molecle differ from an atom?
A molecule is a group of atoms Example: two atoms of Hydrogen + one atom of oxygen = H20 (water)
Why does dissociation of water occur?
Because of the polarity of water which causes one or two or more substances to break apart due to the unbalance of electrons in H20, which is actually neutral.
How does a drawing of polarity water and the bond polarities make a major contribution to the overall molecular polarity look?
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
What is a shorter answer for what causes polarity in a water molecule?
Asymmetrical distribution of electrons in the water molecule due to oxygen's higher electronegativity creates a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom and partial positive charges near the hydrogen atoms, leading to polarity.
What causes water to be a polor molecule?
Oxygen is a highly electronegative element that draws electrons towards itself causing an imbalance of charge and hence polarity.
How is polarity related to surface tension?
Polarity is related to surface tension because it creates an imbalance in charge distribution at the surface of a liquid. This imbalance results in stronger intermolecular forces at the surface, leading to a cohesive force that resists external forces and causes the liquid to form a distinct surface. Substances with higher polarity generally exhibit higher surface tension due to the stronger intermolecular attractions present.
What are the characteristisc of water?
solvent, polarity, hydrogen bonds solvent, polarity, hydrogen bonds
