Does H2 have a molecular dipole moments?

No. H2 does not have a permanent dipole moment.


Is hydrogen bonding also called dipole-dipole?

No,they are two seperate inter molecular forces.


What type of interactions hold the molecules tpgether in a polar molecular solid?

In polar molecular solids' molecules are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions.


How might a molecule have a very strong molecular dipole?

A molecule can have a very strong molecular dipole if it has highly polarized bonds, such as between atoms with large differences in electronegativity. Additionally, having a symmetrical geometry that enhances the overall dipole moment can also contribute to a strong molecular dipole.


Can a molecule have bond dipole moments without having a net molecular dipole moment?

Yes, a molecule can exhibit bond dipole moments if there is a difference in electronegativity between the atoms that make up the bond. However, if these bond dipole moments are arranged symmetrically and cancel each other out, the molecule will not have a net molecular dipole moment.


Is Dipole-dipole forces a intramolecule force?

No. They are inter molecular forces acting between two different molecules.


How do you know if a molecular compound has a dipole-dipole attraction?

A dipole moment is defined as a measure of the molecular polarity of a compound; the magnitude of the partial charges on the ends of a molecule times the distance between them (in meters). In order for there to be a dipole moment the element must must have molecular polarity which results from molecules with a net imbalance of charge (often a result of differences in electronegativity). If the molecule has more than two atoms, both shape and bond polarity determines the molecular polarity. In general look for a difference in electronegativity of the elements of a molecule which results in polarity and thus a possible dipole moment. Note that molecular shape influence polarity so molecules with the same elements but a different shape (and vice versa) won't have the same dipole moment.


What molecular solid would have the lowest boiling point?

A. One with induced dipole attractions B. One that has hydrogen bonding C. One with dipole-dipole attractions D. One made of polar molecules C. One with dipole-dipole attractions - The molecular solids would have the lowest boiling point because of WEAK INTERMOLECULAR FORCES.


Why is a dipole similar to water?

The molecular structure of water allows foræthere to be a positive and a negative region, a dual polarity, which is the very definition of dipole.


What is the intermolecular force for H2S?

The intermolecular force for H2S is dipole-dipole interaction. Since H2S is a polar molecule with a bent molecular geometry, it experiences dipole-dipole forces between the slightly positive hydrogen atoms and the slightly negative sulfur atom.


What is the molecular dipole moment?

a separation of charge forming a positive and negat2ive end of molecule
