Why does hexane deflect towards a charged plastic rod when its not supposed to?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
A stream of a polar liquid (such as water) will be attracted to a charged rod, while a similar stream of a non-polar liquid will not be attracted. Hexane has a stronger bond than all the polar bond because the structure of it is much more link for example of (Pentane, Butane, Propane, Ethane, Methane)

∙ 10y agoWe have recently done this experiment in Chemistry and found that water and ethanol (strong dipoles) both deflected but we also found that hexane deflected ever so slightly. Could it be due to instantaneous dipoles on the hexane molecules causing a weak attraction?

What is the evidence that show cathode rays consists of charged particles?
in a cathode ray tube the cathode rays move towards the anode(positively charged) fixed plate.

An electrically neutral object can be attracted by a positively charged object because?
A neutral pith ball is still "charged", it just doesn't display excessively charged behavior. Since it is neutral, having nearly equal positive and negative charge, the proximity of the positively charged pith ball still attracts the negative charge present in the ball, inducing polarization moving the ball closer to the positively charged one. Once they make contact, the conductibility of the pith ball quickly accepts excess charge from the other, creating a like charge repulsion.
What happens when two negatively charged ions get close to each other?
If a negative ion meets a positive ion they may form an ionic compound.
Will beta particles bend towards the north or south pole of a magnet?
That's going to depend on which pole of the magnet is sticking out towards the beta stream (there are two choices), and also on the direction in which the electrons are flowing past the magnet (there are two choices).
Why does a charged glass rod attract charged plastic straw?
it is becuase when a glas rod charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires positive charge and when a plastic straw is charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires negative charge. Therefore a charged glass rod attracts a charged plastic rod.
Is plastic ruler gets attracted towards pieces of paper when rubbed with oily hair?
when rubbed with hair, ruler acquires some charge due to static electricity...becomes charged body and attracts tiny pieces of paper towards it.
What will happen to the positively charged balloon ad a soft drink can?
The positively charged balloon and a soft drink can will pull negatively charged objects towards them
How do you get a girl to like you when she doesn't like you in the first place?
Show her that you are a friendly person worth the time to hang out with. If she is haughty or mean towards you, just deflect and defuse it with simple neutrality. Once she is warmer towards you, trying starting a small conversation with her, and build towards a real friendship.
What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.
Was ET the movie supposed to be a horror movie?
No it was geared towards children
Why electron does not fall in one of the charged plate of opposite polarity when moving inside electric field?
An electron, being negatively charged, will move towards positively charged plates.
The overall cost for plastic packaging and bottling is quite huge and the negatives eefects so harmful that plastic packaging including bottling should be banned?
negative effect of plastic packaging including bottling, why it should be banned? - It contibute towards health harzard. - It cotribute towards death of marine organisms. -It cotribute towards pollutions.
Why does a neutral pith ball move towards a charged rod?
I dont know :P
Do the rays produced in cathode tube deflect towards negative plate?
The electron beam produced in the cathode is essentially negative (with respect to the anode), therefore it tends to go towards potentials above the cathode's potential (more positive or less negative, as you wish).
