When someone mentions water polarity, they are talking about the intermolecular properties of water. Water is a polar-covalent bonded molecule which means that even though the hydrogens are sharing electrons with the oxygens, the electrons will be attracted slightly more to the element with the bigger nucleus.
What else can I help you with?
Is a polar molecule is a molecule with the ability to resists changes in temperature?
A polar molecule is a molecule with slight opposite charges. Water is a polar molecule which means that each water molecule is attracted to other water molecules which accounts for waters surface tension or cohesion.
What part of waters molecular structure makes it polar?
The unequal distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in a water molecule leads to a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms. This asymmetry in electron distribution creates a polar covalent bond within the water molecule, making water a polar molecule overall.
Is benzophenone polar or non polar?
If you'll take a look at its structure benzophenone is polar but during our laboratory we were able to determine if it's polar or non-polar by TLC. The TLC plate was developed in a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate with a 9:1 ratio respectively. This would mean that the solvent used is non-polar due to the large amount of petroleum ether. Finally our group was able to determine the Rf value of benzophenone and we found out that it has an Rf value of 0.4737 so this would mean that benzophenone is non-polar because its Rf value is near to 1.
Is Chloroform methanol polar?
Yes, chloroform is a polar molecule due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine atoms. Methanol is also a polar molecule due to the presence of the hydroxyl group which results in uneven distribution of charge in the molecule.
What molecule has a positive end and negative end?
A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.
How the humpback whale get around?
I'm not sure what you mean... I know they migrate (by swimming) from polar to tropical waters. They breed in tropical waters during the winter and feed in polar waters in the summer.
What is waters Waters characteristics shaped due to?
polar covalent bonding
What happen to the waters of the biblical flood?
Polar ice caps
How does waters polar nature affect its ability to dissolve substances?
it dissovles
The density currents that originate in the polar regions are primarily caused by?
Density currents that originate in the polar regions are primarily caused by differences in temperature and salinity of water. Cold and dense polar waters sink and flow towards lower latitudes due to their higher density, creating a current. The interaction between these dense polar waters and surrounding less dense waters helps drive the circulation of the global ocean currents.
Why water is found in the solid form in the polar regions?
Considering the fact that a polar region has a polar climate which includes tempuratures that are frequently below that of waters freezing temperature, it is frozen.
Does the Narwhal Whale come from Antarctica?
No. This is a northern polar animal you can find in Arctic waters.
What does non polar mean?
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
Where does a humback whale lives?
Humpback whales migrate to polar waters, but mates and calves in the tropics
What about waters chemical composition and physical attributes make it an excellent solvent?
Water has a polar molecule.
Is polar creep important?
Yes,because as the cold water at the polar goes to the warm waters of the equator the temperature at the ocean would be balanced ;)bunnyshaine23@yahoo.com
What does non polar and polar mean?
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
