An electric dipole is placed in a nonuniform electric filedIs there a net force on the dipole?

yes, there is a NET field .electric dipole experiences a net field .(not in uniform E.Field)


What is the direction of the dipole moment expected for hydrogen bromide?

The HBr molecule is linear (obviously, since it contains only two atoms). The dipole moment is a vector, parallel to the bond, pointing toward the partially positively charged atom, which is, in this case, the hydrogen. The magnitude of the dipole moment is the difference in the partial electrical charges on each atom times the spatial separation of the atoms in the bond. In a molcule with more than two atoms (more than one bond), the dipole moment of each bond must be added vectorially and the resultant vector will determine the dipole moment of the molecule. For instance, carbon dioxide has two carbon-oxygen double bonds of high polarity, but because the molecule is linear, and the individual dipoles oppose each other, the carbon dioxide molecule has no net dipole moment.


Is SO2 a polar bond?

It is polar. It has a dipole moment of 1.62 d. The S-O bonds are polar due to the electronegativity difference between Sulphur and Oxygen, the molecule is bent with lone pairs so the dipoles do not cancel, (vector addition) giving rise to anet molecular dipole moment.


Why SO2 polar but SO3 is non polar?

SO2 has a bent molecular geometry such that you can say there is an oxygen end and a Sulfur end in the molecule. Because of this, the pull that the oxygen atoms exert on the electrons results in a net dipole moment. By contrast SO3 has a trigonal planar geometry. The oxygen atoms are arranged in a perfectly symmetrical arrangement around the central sulfur atom. As a result, the polarities of the 3 sulfur-oxygen bonds cancel each other out.


What has occurred when rocks formed millions of years ago show the location of the magnetic poles at the time of their formation?

Magnetism is a property of certain materials, usually metals, that have an electric dipole on the molecular scale. A dipole is a significant separation between the positive and negative charges in the molecule. Since electrons and protons have spin, and moving electrical charges generate megnetic fields, the dipole generates a net magnetic field. If enough dipoles are oriented in the same direction the body has a net magnetic field. The dipoles can align when sitting in a permanent magnetic field for a long period of time, like underground in the earth's magnetic field.

Does acetone have a net dipole?

An acetone molecule does have a net dipole. The dipole moment of acetone is 2.91 D. This is caused by the difference in electronegativity between methyl groups and a carbonyl group.

Why area of hysteresis loop is change with temperature?

Disorder. Each unit cell has its own dipole moment, which, when there is a net polarisation, are described as ordered. At high T, the direction of the dipole moments randomises, giving a disordered material with no net polarisation.Phase transitions that can open up new possibilities for dipole moments to form. In this case, there is a jump at 0°C, and at 90°C, where the loop becomes taller.


What type of molecule has Dipole-Dipole forces created?

Ay molecule with a net dipole moment will have dipole -dipole interactions. These are molecules with polar bonds caused by a diference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded.

Is NF3 polar nonpolar or ionic?

Nitrogen trifluoride ia a polar compound, with a small dipole moment of 0.234 debye. F has a higher electrnegativity than N , with a 0.94 difference. The lone pair will also cause a small dipole in the opposite direction to the polar bonds. This accounts for the small net dipole moment


Why Nh3 and Nf3 has high dipole moment?

This is because in ammonia the direction of resultant dipole is towards lone pair and hence it has high dipole moment but in case of NF3 the direction of resultant dipole moment is opposite to the lone pair and hence the dipole moment gets less.


Does ammonia have a dipole moment?
