Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge?

The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.


Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge.?

The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.


Why dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride?

In chlorobenzene, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom(more 's' character). In cyclohexyl chloride, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom (less's' character than hybridized carbon atom). Hence chlorobenzene is more electronegative than cyclohexyl chloride. Therefore, the density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom is less in chlorobenzene than cyclohexyl chloride.The density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom in chlorobenzene decreases due to the -R effect of the benzene ring which is not in cyclohexyl chloride. Due to this polarity of the C-Cl bond decreases and hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than cyclohexyl chloride.


What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?

A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.


Does chlorine and sodium make a compound?

Yes. One Sodium atom and one Chlorine atom make a compound called Sodium Chloride, more commonly known as salt.

A student wishes to find out if carbon is a more massive atom than oxygen What is the quickest way to find this information?

What is the proportion of mass of Chlorine and Argon gas in a given volume?

The mass of the chlorine atom is 35.5. The mass of the argon atom is 40. So you may think that the argon is more massive than chlorine. That is not correct.In a given volume of gas, at given pressure and temperature, the number of molecules are same in case of the gas. Chlorine molecule has got two atoms. The argon remains single. So the mass of chlorine molecule is 35.5*2 = 71. the mass of argon atom and molecule is 40.So the chlorine gas is much massive as compared to argon gas. The proportion goes to be 71 to 40, to be exact.


What type of bonding exist between carbon and chlorine?

A carbon-chlorine bond would be covalent but chlorine is more electronegative than carbon so the bond would be polar.


How are you made from stars?

Virtually any atom of element more massive than oxygen(including carbon and many more elements your body consists of) was created in supernovae explosions.


Is there more than one atom in carbon monoxide?

Yes. carbon monoxide is CO and has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.

What does the atomic mass tellus about the structure of the atom?

The more massive an atom is, the larger the nucleus and the more electrons are spinning around it.


Why are small quantities of chloroflorocarbons harmful to the ozone layer?

Free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone.
