When polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged metal plates they will align themselves. They align in the direction of the field.

What happens to the salt grains as they dissolve in water?
salt grains are groups of oppositely charged ions in a tight solid pattern. When they dissolve the water molecules attract these ions and cause them to separate, becoming a solution.
The formation of an ionic bond involves?
An ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What happens to space between molecules as they cool?
Molecules take up less space as they cool. The space contains more molecules.
What happens to water molecules as water evaporates?
The hydrogen bonds between the water molecules in the liquid are broken.
The attractive force between oppositely charged ions?
No, an ionic bond is when an electron/electrons are taken completely from one atom and moved to another. A covalent bond occurs when there is a sharing of electrons between atoms. This happens when the bond is between two nonmetals and the difference in electronegativities is 1.7 or less.
What happens to the forces of attraction between charged objects and uncharged as the distance between them decreases?
As the distance decreases the attraction increases
What happens to the salt grains as they dissolve in water?

What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.
How do air fresheners use static electricity?
Air Fresheners use static electricity by charging the air/odour molecules in the room. A plate on the air freshener is then charged oppositely. When this happens the air/odour molecules will attract to the plate removing the smell and replacing it with a fresh scent. So instead of the air freshener producing a stronger smell, it will eliminate the odour.
The formation of an ionic bond involves?
An ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What happens when you separate a non metal and a metal?
Let us see with sodium chloride. NaCl separate in solution Na+ and Cl- two oppositely charged ions are the result
What happens when salt is dissolved?
it becomes split into oppositly charged ion which become surrouded by water molecules......
What happens to the molecules in a solid when it dissolves?
molecules of a solid break up get's into the space that is in between the liquid molecules
What happens when a chlorine shares 1 electrons with an atom of hydrogen?
Actually chlorine and hydrogen will not share electrons; the chlorine atom steals the electron from the hydrogen atom, creating two separate oppositely charged ions.
What happens to space between molecules as they cool?
Molecules take up less space as they cool. The space contains more molecules.
What happens when charged objects placed near the neutral objects?
There will be an attractive interaction between the charged object and the neutral object.
What happens to water molecules as water evaporates?
The hydrogen bonds between the water molecules in the liquid are broken.
