Is hydrogen chloride a nonpolar molecule?
I think you mean HCl and Cl (with an L). HCl is polar because there is a difference in electronegativity between hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl). Cl on its own is a single atom and is not bonded to anything for there to be a difference in electronegativity. Cl2 is nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity between atoms of the same element.
What do atoms with the same number of protons make?
a double molecule. If you have the same number of protons, it is obviously the same element. You would just have one more molecule of that element. It could make is something like: 02 or 03 Yes, but isn't there a scientific term for a double molecule? -there are bonds...covalent bonds. this is the chemical bond between the element. it can be a double bond, triple... there are also ionic bonds (but those are different). so in this case it would be a double covalent bond or a triple covalent bond.
Why is the symbol for the element sulfur different from the formula for a molecule of sulfur?
why is the symbol for the element sulfur different from the formula fod a molecule of sulfur
Is oxygen polar or non polar?
A oxygen molecule: O2 is bonded in a linear structure, which makes it non-polar since dipole moments are equal and point in opposite directions, thus they cancel each other out.
Is iodine a element mixture or compound?
Iodine, I2 is an diatomic element, with two atoms in the molecule.
How can a molecule be in a nonpolar covalent bond?
A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.
Is an element composed of millions of identical atoms?
Yes, an element is composed of millions of identical atoms.
Explain why a molecule formed by two identical atoms is nonpolar?
This is only true if "diatomic" refers to 2 identical atoms (i.e., same element) Since 2 atoms form a straight line, the compuond is automatically symmetrical. Also, since the atoms are identical, the pull on electrons is equal, and the electrons are shared evenly. Therefore, since the charges are equal all across the molecule, no poles form. It is nonpolar.
Is H 2 Se polar?
polar H2O is POLAR because its NDM is # from zero
Is I2 an ionic bond?
I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.
Is oxygen polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Definitely nonpolar.A molecule becomes polar if one of the atoms pulls electrons more strongly than another. But O2 is completely symmetrical--it's just two O atoms that are exactly alike. One can't pull more strongly than another, so it must be nonpolar.
Is the covalent bond between chlorine atoms in a molecule of chlorine gas polar?
No. Bonds between atoms of the same element are nonpolar. The electronegativity difference between the two atoms is zero, which indicates that the bond is nonpolar.
Is hydrogen chloride a nonpolar molecule?
I think you mean HCl and Cl (with an L). HCl is polar because there is a difference in electronegativity between hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl). Cl on its own is a single atom and is not bonded to anything for there to be a difference in electronegativity. Cl2 is nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity between atoms of the same element.
Does a symmetrical molecule always have nonpolar bonds?
No. Hydrogen fluoride is rotationally symmetrical around an axis along the center of its single, very polar bond. However, if a molecule has mirror symmetry in a hypothetical mirror through and perpendicular to its only bond, the bond is nonpolar because the two atoms bonded are atoms of the same element
Is chlorine gas polar or nonpolar?
The chlorate ion (ClO3-) is trigonal pyramidal and polar.
Is Iodine2 a non polar molecule?
Yes. All diatomic molecules of an element are nonpolar, because each of two atoms in a diatomic elemental molecule are the same and therefore exert exactly equal attractions on their shared valence electrons.
Identify H2 and describe its properties?
H2 is a molecule of hydrogen, which is an element. In nature, hydrogen exists as a molecule, with two atoms combined. H2 and H have identical properties because only one element is represented in their atomic structures. I hoped this helped you!
