delta is used in differential calculus as well as other places to indicate a very small amount. Taking water as an example, the oxygen carries a very samll charge and the hydrogens a small positive charge even though the molecule is covalently bonded. The small charge on the hydrogen (as opposed to a full positive charge) is called delta popsitive) and thus the charge on the oxygen is delta negative or more strictly 2 delta negative.

Is cellular respiration a negative or positive delta g?

Photosynthesis is a positive delta G as it produces more free energy than it uses. The overall result of the Gibbs equations shows that delta G is positive


What is the term for a method of indicating the partial positive and partial negative charge in a polar bond?

The term for indicating the partial positive and partial negative charges in a polar bond is "delta notation." In this notation, the partial positive charge is represented by the symbol δ+ (delta plus), while the partial negative charge is denoted by δ- (delta minus). This notation highlights the unequal distribution of electron density between the atoms in a polar covalent bond.


What causes a dipole dipole forces?

Elecronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract the electron density of a covalent bond to itself. Different atoms of elements have different electronegativities. As a result, in a covalent bond, the shared electrons are closer to the atom with the higher electronegativity or 'better pulling power' As a result, the atom with the higher electronegativity is 'slightly more negative' (delta negative dipole) and the other atom is 'slightly more positive' (delta positive dipole). As a result, a delta negative atom of one molecule will be attracted to the delta positive atom of another moleclue, and vice versa. As a result of this, the molecules are attracted to each other, forming dipole-dipole intermolecular forces. Hope this helps :)


How will temperature affect the spontaneity of a reaction positive delta h and delta s?

∆G = ∆H - T∆S and for it to be spontaneous, ∆G should be negative. If both ∆H and ∆S are positive, in order to get a negative ∆H, the temperature needs to be elevated in order to make the ∆S term greater than the ∆H term. So, I guess the answer would be "the higher the temperature, the more likely will be the spontaneity of the reaction."

How is dividing integers similar to multiplying integers with the resulting sign?

The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
