Is ammonium hydroxide polar or non polar?
Ammonium chloride is polar, it dissolves in water.
Using intermolecular forces explain why water is a liquid at room temperature but ammonia is a gas.?
The simplest answer is polarity. As I'm sure you know, both water and ammonia form hydrogen bonds with like molecules. But the critical difference is that water is a polar molecule and has a dipole moment, whereas ammonia is non-polar and does not have a dipole moment. A dipole moment is the result of polar bonds. It is important to note that having polar bonds DOES NOT necessarily make a molecule polar. Imagine that the bonds on a molecule pushes the nucleus in the direction of the bond. In a molecule with all of its bonds evenly spaced and of the same type (Hydrogen to Nitrogen, for example), such as in NH3, all of the bonds cancel each other out. But in a molecule with its bonds unevenly spaced, such as in H2O, the bonds do not cancel each other out, resulting in a dipole moment.
Is tap water polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
Is Dihydrogen monoxide an example of a nonpolar molecule?
Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or Water) is not an example of a nonpolar molecule. It is a polar molecule.
Is hydrogen phosphate a polar molecule?
Yes it is a polar molecule, it can be dissolved in water, and it is balanced.
Is ammonia is soluble in water or a polar molecule?
Ammonia form in water ammonium hydroxide - NH4OH.
What is an example of a polar molecule other than water?
ammonia
Is ammonium hydroxide polar or non polar?
Ammonium chloride is polar, it dissolves in water.
Is NH3 a non polar bond?
An NH3 molecule, also known as an ammonia molecule is polar. The molecule's polarity and its ability to form hydrogen bonds, makes ammonia mix very well with water.
Could Water be a polar molecule?
Water is a polar molecule.
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
Is water a polar or nonpolar molecule?
A polar molecule
What is unequal sharing of electrons within a water molecule?
water is a polar, covalent molecule. it doesn't have an unsharing molecule. its also has to do with the 8 properties of water.
How is water a polar molecule?
Because of its shape, water is a polar molecule.
Is water the only molecule that is polar?
No, water is not the only molecule that is polar.
Is H2O a Polar molecule?
H2O is a water molecule, which is polar.
Why does the ammonia molecule dissolve readily in water?
Actually, the ammonia molecule mixes with the water because it forms hydrogen bonds.
