Is boron polar or non polar?

It's non polar covalent


What is the charge of an atom of boron?

The charge of an atom of boron is neutral. Boron has 5 protons and 5 electrons, giving it an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a neutral overall charge.


What are the two like charges?

a positive and a positive or a negative and a negative. Object with the same charge. Like charges repel each other.


When there is full of negative charges in a jar are there going to be negative charges?

No, if a jar is already full of negative charges, adding more negative charges would result in repulsion among the charges and likely lead to discharge or redistribution of charges. The negative charges would try to move away from each other to minimize repulsion.


Do negative and Negative attract or repel each other?

Negative charges (like charges) repel each other due to the fundamental property of electromagnetism that like charges repel. Negative charges are attracted to positive charges.


Is boron trihydride polar?

Yes, boron trihydride (BH3) is a polar molecule because it has a symmetrical trigonal planar shape with three hydrogen atoms around a central boron atom. The electronegativity difference between boron and hydrogen causes an uneven distribution of electrons, resulting in a slightly negative charge on boron and slightly positive charges on the hydrogens, making the molecule polar.


Why is an object electrically neutral?

Something is neutral when there are just as many positive charges as negative charges. A normal atom has just as many positive protons in its nucleus as it has negative electrons orbiting around its nucleus.


Which of these will different charges do?

Positive charges attract negative charges and repel other positive charges. Negative charges do the opposite, attracting positive charges and repelling other negative charges. Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.


What are the 2 types of electric charges?

The two types of electric charges are positive and negative. Positive charges repel each other, as do negative charges, while positive and negative charges attract each other.


Does boron have a positive or negative charge?

Boron typically has a positive charge, as it tends to lose three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


How many negative charges does a oil drop of .00000000000000000593 contain?

6.5


What is true about the number of positive and negative charges in a charged object?

A charged object can have an unequal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge. An object with more positive charges than negative charges will have a positive net charge, and vice versa for negative charges.
