Having a straw i.e, colorless to yellow appearance, this chemical compound has several applications but also comes with a number of limitations and hazard issues.Here’s how we can synthesize or prepare the compound BrF3 :Since BrF3 consists of three fluorine molecules, this is a strong agent of fluorination. Also, this bearing both Br and F can give rise to HBr and HF acids.Highly soluble in sulfuric acid and acting as fluorine donors are some of the properties of bromine trifluoride....
The Lewis structure, also called as electron dot structure, is a simplified method of representing the number of valence electrons present within an atom or a molecule.Furthermore, the structure helps with determining the number of lone pairs of electrons present in an atom and how they act in a bond formation.The structure is drawn using dots which determine the number of valence electrons in an atom and lines between the atoms, determining the number of bonds forming....

So, does glass conduct heat? Not really. Glass is an insulator. However, when heated to a very high temperature, it can conduct heat. Although, its thermal conduction is way slower compared to metals and diamonds that are excellent thermal conductors. Nevertheless, glass is a better heat conductor than air, wool, and plastic that are excellent insulators but poor heat conductors.To know the information in detail, let us study it in detail as below....

From your phone to space rockets, the items made of ceramics are numerous. If I say we live in a ceramic world, it would not be an exaggeration. But how are ceramics made? Have you ever wondered?Manufacturers use different kinds of clay to make various ceramics. The process is almost the same for all ceramics. First, the clay is made flexible with water and some other chemicals. Then they are given the desired shape....
So, Is Cl2 Polar or Nonpolar? Cl2 (Chlorine) is nonpolar in nature because of its linear symmetrical shape and it consists of two chlorine atoms having equal electronegativity. As a result, both atoms have equal charge distribution on them, and the molecule results in zero dipole moment that makes the chlorine molecule nonpolar.Chlorine is a highly reactive element and exists in the gaseous state at room temperature. It has its texture as greenish-yellow....
So, Is SCl2 Polar or Nonpolar? SCl2 (Sulfur dichloride) is polar in nature because of bent geometrical shape due to the presence of lone pair present on the sulfur atom. Secondly, the difference between the electronegativity of sulfur and chlorine atoms makes the S-Cl bonds polar and as a result, the entire molecule also becomes polar and gives a net dipole moment of 0.54D.Sulfur dichloride is a cherry red liquid substance having a pungent smell....

In simple language, matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The entire universe is composed of matter. The three most common forms of matter, as per physical classification, are solid, liquid and gas.Essentially, the matter is made of quark and lepton particles that combine with other fundamental particles viz. electrons, protons, and neutrons, to form atoms, which are the fundamental unit of an element.Matter, as per chemical classification may also be divided into two forms viz....
So, is H2S polar or nonpolar? H2S is a slightly polar molecule because of its bent shaped geometrical structure and the small difference between the electronegativity of Hydrogen(2.2) and Sulfur(2.58) that results in a non zero dipole moment. Other properties of H2S are: It easily reacts with metal ions to result in metal sulfides. It is dangerous and toxic, especially for oxygen inhalers. Being a corrosive, it destructs metals like copper turning into green in color after the reaction....
At room temperature, it exists in the gaseous state and boils at -33 degrees Celsius. Many students wonder whether ammonia is polar or nonpolar. In this article, I will answer this question and cover the surrounding topics too.So, Is NH3 polar or nonpolar? Yes, NH3 (Ammonia) molecule is polar in nature because of its asymmetrical shape ie; trigonal pyramidal structure, and the difference in electronegativities of N(3.04) and H(2.2). The charges over the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms are unequally distributed which results in a net dipole moment making NH3 (Ammonia) a polar molecule....
It is a yellow-white volatile solid soluble in water.In this article, we will understand the basic concepts required to predict Lewis structure, geometry, hybridization, and polarity of a given substance. Lewis Structure Lewis structure is a 2D representation of the arrangement of atoms in a compound. It shows the arrangement of electrons around individual atoms.According to Lewis, only valence electrons participate in bond formation, and hence only valence electrons are represented in Lewis symbols....

It is used as a very efficient selective fluorinating agent and has been used to fluorinate aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and carboxylic acids, activated carbon surfaces. It is a more efficient fluorinating reagent than SF4, as SeF4 is a liquid and could be handled easily under mild conditions.SeF4 quickly reacts with water molecules to get hydrolyzed and releases hydrogen fluoride, which is a very harmful substance. For this reason, SeF4 is rarely used for this purpose....
