What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?
You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.
Is A polar molecule an ion?
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
Is molecule AsF3 polar?
It is a polar molecule and has polar bonds.
Is hydronium ion polar?
A hydronium ion is considered polar. You can determine its polarity by looking at the electronegativity of the atoms. Hydrogen is positive, and oxygen is negative.
Is XeF4 a polar molecule?
a non polar molecule
What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?
What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?
What two thing determine whether or not a molecule is polar?
The shape of the molecule and The electronegativity differences of atoms in the molecule
How do you determine the molecule is microwave active or inactive?
It is determined by whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not absorb radiation in the microwave region; therefore, they are microwave inactive. Polar molecules are microwave active.
How can the shape of a molecule determine its polarty?
A symmetrical molecule cancels out the effects of polar bonds
Whether having polar bonds is equivalent to a molecule being polar?
No. Carbon dioxide has polar bonds, but the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because it is symmetric.
How can the shape of a molecule determine it's Polarity?
A symmetrical molecule cancels out the effects of polar bonds.
What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?
You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.
what two things can make a molecule polar?
Answer 1:The presence of polar bonds Answer 2:The shape of the molecule Apex
What is the other factor in whether or not a molecule is polar?
a molecule is polar if it has a lone pair of electrons or if it's not symmetrical (bonded to different elements such as HCN)
Why does things dissolve in water?
the things dissolve in water because it is polar molecule.
What is the first thing you should do if you want to determine if a molecule is polar or not?
Draw the Lewis Structure
What does hydrophilic mean and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic, or 'water loving' refers to molecules that are easily miscible in water. Polar molecules and ionic compounds are generally hydrophilic, and non-polar molecules are generally hydrophobic.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about how to determine if a molecule is non-polar, polar, or ionic.
