BCl3 is non-polar. The B-Cl bonds are polar but the molecule is not. You should review shapes of molecules. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, VSEPR. Applying VSEPR on BCl3, we can find out that the shape of the molecule is trigonal planar. Due to its geometry, the bonds cancel out.

What substances contains a nonpolar covalent bond mgf2 nacl nh3 h2o n2?

MgF2 and NaCl are ionic. NH3 and H2O contain polar covalent bonds. N2 contains non polar covalent bond.


What substances would exhibit dipole-dipole intermolecular force bcl2 cf4 co2 cl2 nh3?

BCl3 and NH3 would exhibit dipole-dipole intermolecular forces, as they have polar bonds. CF4, CO2, and Cl2 would not exhibit dipole-dipole forces, as they are nonpolar molecules.


Is NH3 soluble in CCl4?

it will not dissolve NH3 in poler molecules


Which is more polar NH3 or H2O?

Ammonia (NH3) is more polar than water (H2O) due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, which leads to a stronger dipole moment in NH3.


What does that mean NH3 H2O NH4OH?

ammonia (NH3) dissolves in water (H2O) to form ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH)


What is the answer to this equation NH3 plus NO2 --- N20 plus H2O?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction NH3 + NO2 -> N2O + H2O is: 4 NH3 + 4 NO2 -> 3 N2O + 6 H2O


Ammonium hydroxide yields NH3 and what?

Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) yields ammonia (NH3) and water (H2O) when it undergoes decomposition.


Does NH3 contain a nonpolar covalent bond?

No, NH3 does not contain a nonpolar covalent bond. The bonds in NH3, which are between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, are polar covalent because nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing an uneven distribution of electrons.


What type of reaction is NH3 plus O2 - NO plus H2O?

This is an oxidation reaction of N from -3 (in NH3) to +2 (in NO) oxidation value. 4 NH3 + 5 O2 --> 6 H2O + 4 NO


Which of these substances has a formula incorporating a triple bond 1. CO 2. NH3 3. BCl3 4. H2O 5. BI3 6. H2Se 7. H2S 8. HO?

The substance with a formula incorporating a triple bond is 5. BI3 (Boron triiodide).


How many moles of H2O can be formed when 4.5 moles of NH3 react with 3.2 moles of O2 NH3 plus O2 yields NO plus H2O?

Using the molar mass of nh3, we find that we have 2.5 moles of nh3. Since 3 moles of h2o are produced per 2 moles of nh3, we see that we will produce 3.75 moles of h2o. This is equivalent to around 3.79 g.


What is the reaction formula for NH3 plus C6H5COOH?

The reaction between NH3 (ammonia) and C6H5COOH (benzoic acid) results in the formation of C6H5COONH4 (ammonium benzoate) and H2O (water). The balanced chemical equation is: C6H5COOH + NH3 → C6H5COONH4 + H2O
