Dipole molecules, those having a negatively charged pole and a positively charged pole, if they are in a liquid medium such as an aqueous solution, will orient themselves according to Coulomb's Law, with negative poles close to positive poles and distant from other negative poles.

What happens when polar molecules are between oppositely charged metal plates?

Polar molecules are attracted to the oppositely charged metal plates due to the electrostatic forces. The molecules will align themselves with the electric field between the plates, causing the plates to exhibit slight dipole moments. This can lead to changes in the properties of the molecules, such as increased polarity or reorientation of molecular orientation.


Force of attraction between nonpolar molecules?

Two non polar molecules will be attracted to each other by dispersion forces (van der Waal forces).


What are the intermolecular forces in SF2?

The central atom has two lone pairs and two shared pairs, so the molecular shape is v-shaped (like H2O). Since F has a much higher electronegativity than S, the electron density in this molecule is shifted away from the sulfur and toward the center of the two fluorines. So the molecule has a dipole moment. This molecule is a good example of why you must draw the Lewis structure before determining molecular shape. With a casual glance this molecule may appear to be linear, but the Lewis structure looks like this


What makes soap so sudsy?

Soap molecules have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail. When mixed with water, the soap molecules arrange themselves with the tails pointing toward each other to form micelles, trapping dirt and oil. The hydrophobic tails also disrupt the surface tension of water, creating bubbles and making the solution sudsy.


The OH bonds in water molecule are polar. The molecule is symmetric and the HOH bond angle is approximately 107 degree. The dipole moment vector of the molecule is?

From a physical standpoint, the dipole moment vector of a molecule is the net electric static force between the atoms. Assuming the molecule to be symmetrical, the vectors from the hydrogens toward the oxygen will cancel in the x-direction, leaving only a vector going from the center of the two hydrogens toward the oxygen.

What is the Kaaba Why do Muslims orient themselves toward the Kaaba when they pray?

The Kaaba is a sacred structure located in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and is considered the holiest site in Islam. Muslims orient themselves toward the Kaaba, known as the qibla, during prayers to maintain a unified direction of worship, symbolizing their submission to Allah. This practice fosters a sense of community among Muslims worldwide, as they all face the same focal point during their prayers. The Kaaba is also believed to be the first house built for the worship of Allah.


Does lathering with soap get what you're cleaning cleaner than if you don't lather up?

Yes. Lathering generates more bubbles. The bubbles make you cleaner. Soap has a surfactant that is amphipathic, one end is water soluble, the other is not. The end that is not water soluble clings to things like dirt and oils. These then orient themselves inside the bubble because they do not like water, the ends that are water soluble orient themselves toward the water


Why do Muslims orient themselves toward the Kaaba when they pray?

Muslims orient themselves toward the Kaaba in Mecca when praying because it is considered the holiest site in Islam. The act of facing the Kaaba during prayer symbolizes unity and solidarity among the Muslim community, as all Muslims around the world face the same direction when they pray. It also serves as a physical focal point to help Muslims concentrate and feel a connection with the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and the origins of Islam.


What are two main particales that make up the cell membrane?

The cell has a phospholipid membrane with other molecules interspersed throughout. However, phospholipid is the major player. It is a molecule with a lipid (fat) tail and a phosphate head. The molecules orient themselves, due to hydrophobic interactions so that there is a double row of phosphate with tails of lipid facing toward each other. This allows the membrane to interact with both the cellular and extracellular space, which are both watery, and provide some regulation for what enters and exits the cell.

What is dipole dipole interation?

It is a type of attraction between the positive end of a polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.Molecules like HCl are made up of elements with vastly different electronegativities, Chlorine being extremely electronegative and Hydrogen being much, much less electronegative. Highly electronegative elements like Chlorine pull electrons shared in their covalent bonds much harder toward their nucleus and away from the other atom's. This means that the electron (which is negatively charged) will be closer to the Chlorine atom than the Hydrogen atom, creating a negative charge on the Chlorine side of the molecule and a positive charge on the Hydrogen side, making HCl a polar molecule. When near other polar molecules, the positive hydrogen side will attracted to their negative ends and the negative Chlorine side will be attracted to their positive ends, which is a dipole interaction

What mineral is known to orient itself toward magnetic north?

Magnetite is the mineral known to orient itself toward magnetic north due to its natural magnetic properties. This behavior is commonly observed in certain types of magnetite-containing rocks and is used in paleomagnetic studies to determine the Earth's magnetic field history.

How does electronegativity affect the of the bond between two atoms?

The more electronegative an atom is the more "pull" the atom will have on the electrons in the molecules. For example, water (H2O) contains the very electronegative atom Oxygen. Oxygen would pull more electrons toward it so the hydrogen would essentially lose their electrons. The dipole moment would point towards the oxygen. Therefore, the more electronegative an atom is the more the dipole moment will point in its direction therefore affecting polarity of the bond.
