So, is HCN polar or Nonpolar? HCN is a polar molecule because of the large electronegative difference between Nitrogen(3.04) and hydrogen(2.2) due to which the linear-shaped molecule has unequal sharing of charge and results in non zero dipole moment making the molecule polar.HCN is acidic in nature. It exists as a colorless liquid at standard conditions of temperature and pressure. It is flammable in nature and an extremely poisonous liquid produced widely produced on an industrial scale....

Melting is a physical process in which the transfer of phase from solid to liquid takes place. The melting point is the temperature at which the solid and liquid can coexist in equilibrium. It depends on various factors like external pressure, presence or absence of impurities, etc.The kinetic energy of particles in the solid state is less than in the liquid state. On heating a solid substance, the kinetic energy of particles increases, and as a result, the solid structure breaks down to form a liquid....

In the anhydrous state, the Magnesium Chloride comprises 25.5% of elemental magnesium by mass. Magnesium chloride in the hydrated form can be easily extracted from seawater.

Magnesium Chloride appears to be a colorless crystalline solid with a melting point of 714 degrees C....

So, Is PF3 Polar or Nonpolar? PF3 is a polar molecule. Phosphorus and fluorine have different electronegativity and the PF3 molecule also contains a lone pair. As a result, the shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal and it ensures a non zero dipole moment making the PF3 a polar molecule.Phosphorus trifluoride is a toxic substance and is odorless and colorless in appearance. It is widely used as a ligand in various metal complexes....

Natural gas and gasoline both are non-renewable energy and kinds of fossil energy. But there are some differences between them. The most common difference is in their state. One is found in gas form, and the other is liquid. In this article, I present a comparative study of natural gas and gasoline. You will learn about these fuels and their uses. You will also learn their uses and differences between them....

It occurs as a pale blue, slightly viscous liquid in its pure form. It is the simplest peroxide having an oxygen-oxygen single bond. It slowly decomposes in the presence of light due to which it is stored in dark bottles.Is hydrogen peroxide an acid? Yes. Hydrogen peroxide is acid as it has a pH of 6.2. However, the pH value depends upon the concentration as well as the temperature of the solution....

The molecular weight of this compound is calculated to be 108.6 g/mol. SF4’s boiling and melting points are -38 degrees Celcius and -121 degrees Celcius respectively.SF4 is a toxic gas if inhaled and can cause serious irritation in the skin, eyes, or mucous membrane. If it gets reacted with water then toxic fluoride and sulfur oxide fumes are formed along with an acidic solution.The same happens when it reacts with some acid....

SF6 is noncombustible and nonflammable in nature. However, under extreme heat and pressure, it might burst out of its storage container and rocket into the air.SF6 can react with a few compounds to further disassociate and take part in the following reactions.SF6 + 4H2O ——–> H2SO4 + 6HFHere SF6 combines with water to form sulfuric acid and hydrogen fluoride.SF6 + 8NaOH ——–> Na2SO4 + 6NaF + 4H2OAnd here SF6 reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium sulfate, sodium fluoride, and water....

It is more than just a bag; it wouldn’t be entirely wrong to call it a protector of our things. But how does it impact our environment?Can you recycle Ziploc bags? While it is possible to recycle Ziploc bags, it is not easy due to the use of number 4 plastic (LDPE) in its manufacturing. If you want to recycle Ziploc bags, you must prepare them for recycling beforehand. However, it would be best if you stopped buying these bags altogether and look for other, safer storage alternatives....

Fiberglass is an affordable, flexible, and lightweight material that can withstand UV damage and corrosion.In this article, we’ll address the question about the electrical conduction of fiberglass.So, does fiberglass conduct electricity? No, it doesn’t. This is because the materials used in the making of fiberglasses such as glass and resin are poor conductors of electricity. They are used as insulators due to their rigid structure and lack of free electrons....

So, Is CO Polar or Nonpolar? CO (Carbon monoxide) is polar in nature because of the difference in electronegativity of carbon (2.55) and oxygen (3.44) atoms. The carbon and oxygen atom have unequal charge distribution and therefore CO bond has a net dipole moment making CO a polar molecule.Carbon monoxide is produced in ou environment through various means like the burning of wood, gasoline, charcoal, and other fuel.It is itself a flammable gas by nature and inhaling Carbon monoxide gas of concentrations greater than 35 ppm can cause illness and other health problems too....

Hydrochloric acid is a colorless and transparent solution of hydrogen chloride in water. It is a strong acid with a pungent smell.The melting and boiling points of the hydrogen chloride solution are not fixed as they depend upon the concentration of its aqueous solution. Similarly, the values of pH and density of the hydrogen chloride solution are not fixed.If we open a bottle of concentrated HCl solution, we can observe the fumes in the air with a pungent smell....

But are all these fabrics truly waterproof, as they’re advertised to be? What about polyester?Is polyester waterproof? The answer to it is both yes and no. While in its truest nature, a single strand of polyester is waterproof, when woven together, pure polyester fabric is not 100% waterproof. A better term for these kinds of fabric is “water-resistant”. However, polyester can be made 100% waterproof by adding different kinds of coating to it....

Tap water is different from the freshwater collected from natural water sources or hand pumps, etc. It is obtained by treating water collected from different sources with various purification techniques.It is majorly provided in the urban and sub-urban areas and involves a complex system of collection, storage, purification, and supply.So, Is tap water a mixture? Yes, tap water is a mixture. Tap water consists of minerals (CaCO3, Mg, etc.), microbes (bacteria or other pathogens), purifying agents (like chlorine), and other impurities in variable amounts....

It is highly unstable in concentrated form and decomposes violently above – 40 °C temperature.
