Because it's very electronegative, therefore no need to induce.

Is ccl2f2 induced dipole dipole-dipole or hydrogen bonds?

CCl2F2 will have both Van der Waals forces and dipole-dipole forces.Hydrogen bonds only form from a Hydrogen atom, when a highly elecronegative atom (Nitrogen/Oxygen/Fluorine)


What type of bond is hydrogen?

A hydrogen bond is a very strong dipole-dipole bond. A hydrogen bond can only form between hydrogen and a strong electromagnetic atom; fluorine, oxygen or chlorine.


What is the difference between instantaneous dipole and induced dipole?

Dipole-dipole is between two polar molecules, that would be polar anyway. Dipole-induced dipole is between a polar molecule and a non-polar molecule that is now polar due to the proximity of a polar molecule.


Why is the dipole moment of chcl3 is more than chf3?

Even though F is more electronegative, CH3Cl has greater dipole moment because the bond length in this case is far longer than that in the case of CH3F since F is highly electronegative and it attracts the electron pair very strongly. Dipole moment is not just about charge, it is the product of charge and the bond length.


Which has a greater atomic radius at atom of fluorine or an atom of beryllium?

Is ammonia a dipole dipole or extreme dipole?

It is a dipole compound. Because of n atom has a lone pair.


What are dispersion forces?

London dispersion forces are a type of intermolecular force. They are relatively weak. They are also called induce-dipole induce-dipole interactions. * Present in non-polar molecules * Due to non-systematic electron distribution where one molecule induces a dipole on another molecule * This is an important factor in very large molecules * One factor that affects London dispersion forces is polarizability, the ease with which the electron cloud of an atom can be displaced


Is CH2O a dipole dipole?

yes it is dipole dipole as it contain one electron attracting atom chlorin which create dipole in molecule.


The element fluorine has 9 electrons which is the electron configuration for an atom of fluorine?

The electron configuration for an atom of fluorine is [He]2s2.2p5.


How many elements are in a fluorine atom?

Fluorine is an element, s an atom of fluorine contains only one element - fluorine. However, the fluorine molecule consists of two atoms of fluorine.


Who founded the fluorine atom?

No one founded the fluorine atom. The element fluorine has existed since before the earth was formed.


Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?

'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
