AlCl3 is the only non-polar molecule in the list provided. The other molecules (CO, SO2, and NO) have polar covalent bonds due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms involved, making them polar molecules. AlCl3 has a symmetrical arrangement of polar covalent bonds, resulting in a non-polar molecule overall.
CO2 diffuses faster than SO2 because CO2 molecules are smaller and lighter than SO2 molecules, allowing them to move more quickly through a medium. In addition, CO2 has a lower molecular weight and therefore higher average velocity compared to SO2 at the same temperature, contributing to its faster diffusion rate.
No, Compounds with the same empirical formula have the same elements in the same ratio. SO2 and CO2 contain different elements. SO2 is a compound of sulfur and oxygen while CO2 is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
SO2 is a polar molecule because the sulfur atom has a lone pair of electrons, causing an asymmetrical distribution of charge within the molecule. This creates a dipole moment and makes SO2 a polar molecule.
Polar Molecules:· Water (H20): it is planar triangular, and the electrons orbit more around the O than the 2 H's· Nitrogen Hydroxide (NH3): Planar triangular, electrons orbit more around the N that the Hydrogen· Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): Planar triangular, electrons orbit more around Sulfur than the oxygen.· Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): Planar triangular, electrons orbit more around Hydrogen than sulfur.· Bromine Trichloride (BCl3): planar triangular, electrons orbit more around Bromine.Non Polar Molecules:· Dihydrogen (H2): Linear and electrons orbit evenly · Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Linear, equal orbit· Carbon Monoxide (CO): linear, equal distribution·
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
SO2 is a polar molecule because it has a bent molecular geometry and a region of different electronegativities between sulfur and oxygen atoms. This leads to an uneven distribution of charge and creates a dipole moment.
The force between SO2 molecules is a type of intermolecular force known as London dispersion forces. These forces are caused by temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within molecules, leading to weak attractions between neighboring molecules.
Yes, gas molecules can be polar if they have an uneven distribution of electrons leading to partial positive and negative charges. Examples of polar gases include water vapor and hydrogen fluoride.
SO2 is a covalent molecule, as it consists of two nonmetals, sulfur and oxygen, sharing electrons. Due to the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen, the molecule is polar covalent.
CO2 + SO2 --> CO2 + SO2 There is no reaction.
1.75 moles SO2 x 6.02x10^23 molecules SO2/mole SO2 = 1.05x10^24 molecules
