These compounds are generally written as ABn where n= 1, 3, 5, and 7; A and B are less electronegative and more electronegative elements, respectively. They are more reactive than individual halogen atoms from which they are formed.ICl3 is bright yellow solid, which turns into red color upon exposure to light due to the formation of elemental iodine. It is so reactive that it exists as a dimer, I2Cl6 in solid-state....

The H2O2 molecule is made up of only hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In this article, we will study the fundamentals of polarity and will check whether H2O2 is polar or nonpolar.So, Is H2O2 polar or nonpolar? H2O2 is polar in nature due to its bent shape geometry. The O-H bonds result in a net dipole moment because of the difference between the electronegativity of hydrogen(2.2) and oxygen(3.44) atom. The oxygen atoms being more electronegative becomes a negative pole and hydrogen atoms side as a positive pole with a net dipole moment 2....

So, is Iron magnetic? Iron is ferromagnetic in nature (below the curie point of 770℃, i.e in ɑ form). The main reason for this is its unpaired electrons i.e 4 unpaired electrons as we get to know from its electronic configuration. Another important reason for the strong magnetic property of Iron is the alignment of all 4 unpaired electrons or ‘spins’ parallelly, in presence of a magnetic field, ensuring enough ability to interact with the external magnetic field and move the entire object....

So a natural question arises: if the light is a particle, what is the nature or structure of those particles? Light is said to be made out of elementary particles known as photons. “Photo” indicates light.So, do photons have mass? Photons do not have mass. Also, photons display both wave-like and particle-like qualities. Even though photons do not have mass, they possess momentum, and consequently, energy as well. Let us see how....

Industrially, carbon dioxide is used in fire extinguishers, life jackets, refrigerants, etc.Many of you may have this question that is co2 organic or inorganic substance?...

So, is N2 polar or nonpolar? N2 is a nonpolar molecule because of its linear geometrical structure and it is a diatomic molecule. As a result, both atoms have equal electronegativity and share an equal proportion of charge and the overall molecule result in a net-zero dipole moment making it a nonpolar molecule.Nitrogen, or N2, is a very abundant and necessary chemical for biological life and industrial processes. Nitrogen makes up 78% by volume of the air we breathe every day, and it is found in compound form in all living things....

Be that as may, today, we will answer a question that science can fortunately answer.Is smoke a colloid? Yes, smoke is a colloid. It is classified as an aerosol ie; colloidal solution in which the dispersion medium is in gaseous form and the dispersed phase exists in the form of solid. The size of minute solid particles ranges from around 1 nm to 1000 nm.Colloids can simply be described as mixtures in which one substance is divided into minute particles and then dispersed throughout another substance....

Also, the application of air or H2O2 leads to oxidation of hydrazine ( N2H4, a colorless flammable liquid ) which results in the formation of N2H2.Below is the chemical equation of preparation of Dinitrogen Dihydride/Diazene/Diimide(NCOOH)2 ——> (NH)2 + 2 CO2It melts at 193K and has a molar mass of 30.03 g/mol.

ClF5 can be used as an oxidizer in rockets and propellants due to its property as a strong oxidant. However, it is highly corrosive and toxic in nature. Prolonged exposure to heat can lead to explosions or ruptures of the containers.Chlorine tetrafluoride is a strong fluorinating agent and is found to react readily with several elements at room temperature. Preparation of ClF5 ClF3 + F2 ——> ClF5 (at high temperature and high pressure) Chemical Bonding Atoms of similar or different elements come together and form a new molecular composition, which creates new chemical compounds....

There are many properties of alcohol that brings out many questions in mind. In this article, we will discuss whether alcohol evaporates or not.So, does alcohol evaporate? Yes, alcohol does evaporate. It evaporates at a lower temperature than water. The molecule near the surface(liquid-gas boundary) tends to break hydrogen bonds and escape out of it. If we heat up alcohol mixed with water, the alcohol evaporates first due to the lower boiling point of alcohol....

The substance that dissolves is called solute while the substance in which the solute is dissolved is known as a solvent. There can be one or more types of solutes present in a solution.The different molecules in a solution cannot be distinguished by naked eyes. The solute particles in the solution are so small in size that they cannot be separated even by using the filtration process.Also, a solution is a stable entity and the different molecules, although not chemically combined, do not separate with time....

The percentage of the two main metals, viz. copper and zinc, may be altered to vary the properties resulting in the formation of different varieties of brass.Historically, brass has been used since Neolithic times. Brass is a kind of substitutional alloy where the atoms of the two metals may swap their positions inside the crystal structure.So, is Brass a mixture? Yes, Brass is a mixture made up of copper and zinc....

It belongs to the class of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds. It is an alkane derivative. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons composed of carbon and hydrogen only. In CFCs, all hydrogens are replaced.In this article, we will discuss the polarity of CF2Cl2 and the factors affecting the same.So, is CF2Cl2 polar or non-polar? CF2Cl2 is a polar compound due to its asymmetric shape. The C-F and C-Cl bonds are polar due to the difference in electronegativities (C is the least electronegative)....

Hydroiodic acid or hydriodic acid is considered as an aqueous solution of HI, hydrogen iodide.

Sodium cyanide is a base. It is actually a basic salt formed by a reaction between a strong base, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and a weak acid, hydrogen cyanide (HCN)....

Is NOCl polar or non-polar? NOCl is a polar molecule because the central nitrogen atom in the structure of NOCl has a lone pair of electrons present on it, which results in electron-electron repulsion. This leads to bending in the structure in V-shape, making it asymmetrical. Also, due to the unequal sharing of a charge, a dipole moment of about 1.9 D develops making it a polar molecule.The molecular mass of NOCl is 65....

Is SO2 polar or nonpolar? SO2 is polar in nature because of the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen atoms. The greater the difference in electronegativity more will be the polarity of the molecule. The bent shape of SO2 is because of the repulsion between the unbonded electrons present on the sulfur and oxygen atoms. The unsymmetrical shape also identifies whether a molecule is polar or not. Why is SO2 Polar?...

So, Is XeF2 Polar or Nonpolar? XeF2 is nonpolar in nature because of its linear-shaped geometry having fluorine atoms symmetrically on both sides of the xenon atom. However Xe-F bond is polar because the electronegativity of Xe and F is different but the polarity of both Xe-F bonds gets canceled by each other resulting in a nonpolar XeF2 molecule.Xenon difluoride exists as a dense white solid at room temperature. It is one of the most stable compounds of the Xenon family....
