What is overall electric charge?
The overall charge for a purchase is the cost including the product, tax, shipping, and any other fees or services.
Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?
The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.
What is a molecule that has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other?
A polar molecule...such as water. The oxygen molecules pulls the electrons closer, causing the oxygen to have a more negative charge and the two hydrogen atoms to have more positive charges. this is very important in the bonding of water molecules to other water molecules.
What does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have charge?
The oxygen in a water molecule doesn't really have a "charge" per se. It is partially negative relative to the hydrogen atoms which are partially positive. The oxidation number of oxygen in water is 2-, however, but this isn't really a "charge".
What is the term for the overall direction of partial negative charge in a molecule having one or more dipoles?
Net dipole
What Is the overall charge on a molecules of water?
According to one physicist I know, most of the time the overall charge of a molecule of water is neutral.
Why is the overall charge of a water molecule 0?
The reason why the overall charge of a water molecule is zero is because the number of positive hydrogen ions and the number of negative hydroxide ions are equal, so they cancel each other out.
What is an atom or molecule with electric charge?
In chemistry, particles with an overall electric charge are called ions.
If water can dissolves a wide variety substance therefore it is?
Polar. Even though a water molecule has no overall charge, it has a slightly negative end and a slightly positive end.
What is the overall charges on water molecule?
Neutral.
Why do water molecules stick to together?
Although a water molecule has an overall neutral charge (having the same number of electrons and protons), the electrons are asymmetrically distributed, which makes the molecule polar. This polarity makes them bond together weakly.
What is overall electric charge?
The overall charge for a purchase is the cost including the product, tax, shipping, and any other fees or services.
What does the composition of a water affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
How does the composition of a water molecule affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
How does the composition of a water molecule affect the charge?
It makes the molecule polar
What electric charge does water have?
The water is a neutral substance but the molecule is polar.
What is the general term for an ion such as phosphate which is molecule that has an overall electric charge?
Polyatomic ion
