What else can I help you with?
What factor other than electronegativity determines whether a molecule as a whole is polar or not?
The shape of the molecule is a big indicator. If the molecule looks like it has some symmetry to its shape, and its poles are directly opposite of each other, then there it`s a good bet that it`s non polar.
Why does a polar molecule dissolve anything?
It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.
What is an example of a polar molecule other than water?
Ammonia (NH3) is an example of a polar molecule. Its trigonal pyramidal shape results in an unequal distribution of charge, making it a polar molecule.
What is polar molcule?
A polar molecule is a molecule in which the distribution of electrons is uneven, resulting in one end of the molecule being slightly positively charged and the other end being slightly negatively charged. This creates a separation of electric charge, making the molecule polar. Water is a common example of a polar molecule.
What is stickier a non polar molecule or a polar one?
A polar molecule.
What factor other than electronegativity determines whether a molecule as a whole is polar or not?
The shape of the molecule is a big indicator. If the molecule looks like it has some symmetry to its shape, and its poles are directly opposite of each other, then there it`s a good bet that it`s non polar.
Is hydrophobicity determined by whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar?
Yes, hydrophobicity is determined by whether a molecule is nonpolar.
Is hydrophilic a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar?
Yes, hydrophilic is a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar. Hydrophilic molecules are polar, while hydrophobic molecules are nonpolar.
Whether having polar bonds is equivalent to a molecule being polar?
No. Carbon dioxide has polar bonds, but the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because it is symmetric.
What two thing determine whether or not a molecule is polar?
The shape of the molecule and The electronegativity differences of atoms in the molecule
A molecule with polar bonds can be polar?
Yes, a molecule with polar bonds can be polar if the bond dipoles do not cancel each other out due to the molecule's overall geometry. This results in an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule, making it polar.
What two things determine whether or not molecule is polar?
The shape of the molecule and The electronegativity differences of atoms in the molecule
Is a polar molecule is a molecule with the ability to resists changes in temperature?
A polar molecule is a molecule with slight opposite charges. Water is a polar molecule which means that each water molecule is attracted to other water molecules which accounts for waters surface tension or cohesion.
Why does a polar molecule dissolve anything?
It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.
Is nitrate polar?
polar....for other problems, try bonding the molecule first
What is an example of a polar molecule other than water?
Ammonia (NH3) is an example of a polar molecule. Its trigonal pyramidal shape results in an unequal distribution of charge, making it a polar molecule.
What determines if a molecule is polar nonpolar or ionic?
The two factors are 1) the polarity of the bonds between the atoms in the molecule, and 2) the shape of the molecule. Basically, if the bonds are non-polar, the molecule is. If the bonds are polar, but the molecule is in such a shape that they cancel each other, the molecule is non-polar. If the bonds are polar and the molecule's shape doesn't cause them to cancel, the molecule is polar.
