How do you find Polarizability?

Polarizability is a measure of how easily the electron cloud of an atom or molecule can be distorted by an external electric field. It can be experimentally determined by measuring the relative change in polarizability when subjected to an external electric field. Quantum mechanical calculations can also be used to predict polarizability based on the electronic structure of the system.


Which type of force is present in between CCl4and benzene?

Both are non polare and Both have weak attractive forces, thus they can easily leave their own kind to mix with each other. Intermolecular force is only dispersion (London dispersion force). The strength of the London Dispersion Forces (LDF) depends on how easily the electron cloud of an atom or molecule can be distorted or polarized. The closer molecules can approach each other, the stronger the LDF.


What is an electron cloud shaped liked?

The shape of an electron cloud depends on the energy sublevel. Each electron cloud is different, so there is no definitive shape.


What is the charge on the cloud or shell of the atom?

The charge of an electron cloud is negative. The electron cloud is made up of electrons, and the electrons are negatively charged. The electron cloud will have a negative charge as well.


How are electron and electron cloud related?

Electron cloud refers to the region of space around the nucleus of an atom where the electron is likely to be found. Electrons move rapidly within this cloud, existing as both particles and waves simultaneously. Therefore, the electron cloud represents the probable location of an electron at any given moment.

What is the relationship between polarity and polarizability in chemical compounds?

Polarity in chemical compounds refers to the distribution of charge within the molecule, while polarizability is the ability of a molecule to be distorted by an external electric field. Generally, compounds with higher polarity tend to have higher polarizability because the distribution of charge allows for easier distortion of the electron cloud.

Why is iodine a solid?

Iodine is a solid at room temperature because its particles are held together by strong intermolecular forces, specifically van der Waals forces, which require a significant amount of energy to overcome and transition into a liquid state.


Why is dipole moment never permanent?

Electrons are constantly moving around the molecule. The dipole moment is just an average or where the electron cloud most likely to be if you were to freeze the molecule.


What is a detailed explanation of the electron cloud model?

Scientist use the electron cloud model to represent an atom.In the electron cloud model, an atom has two distinct regions-the nucleus and the electron cloud.


Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?

nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
