C2H2Cl2 (dichloroethylene) has more than one polarity due to its molecular structure. The carbon-carbon double bond creates regions of electron density that affect the overall dipole moment of the molecule, resulting in multiple poles. Additionally, the two chlorine atoms can induce different dipole moments due to their positions and electronegativities.

In benzene and chlorobenzene which one is more polar?

Chlorobenzene is more polar than benzene because it has a chlorine atom attached to the benzene ring, which induces a dipole moment and increases its overall polarity compared to benzene.


What is the Lewis structure for C2h2cl2?

The dot structure begins with two C atoms doubly bonded in the center. Each C atom then has a singly bonded H atom and Cl atom. The Cl atom has three pair of dots, one pair on each unbonded side.


Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?

Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.


What is meant by Intrinsic polarization?

I have been through many chemistry classes before and have never come across this exact phrase, but I think I may know what you mean. Certain atoms draw electrons more strongly than others, for a wide variety of reasons. Therefore in some molecules, electrons are more likely to be found in one area of the molecule than in another. For example, fluorine attracts electrons very strongly and carbon and hydrogen do not. Therefore in a molecule such as CH3F the electrons would be drawn more closely to the fluorine in the molecule than the carbon. This gives the fluorine end of the molecule a permanent negative charge and the carbon a permanent positive charge (and thusly the polarity is intrinsic to the molecules structure). This is opposed to other molecules in which polarity is transient (inconsistently present) because none of the atoms draw on the electrons more strongly than the other atoms. In a molecule of ethane (C2H6) neither carbon draws electrons more strongly. You can, however, get polarity if by chance more of the electrons travel to one side of the molecule (remember that electrons obey quantum mechanics and can appear anywhere in a given cloud) and create a temporary negative charge. Therefore polarity can be present, but it isn't intrinsic (the polarity had nothing to do with the electronegativities of the atoms). Sorry if I misinterpreted the question.


What weighs more one mole of oxygen or one mole of sodium?

One atom of sodium weighs more than one atom of oxygen. Thus, one mole of sodium weighs more than one mole of oxygen.

How does water's polarity allow for it to also have the property of high specific heat?

Polarity makes molecules attract one another more strongly; this requires more energy to break them apart.


What causes polarity between two atoms?

Polarity between two atoms is caused by a significant difference in electronegativity. This means that one atom can attract the electron in a covalent bond more than the other such that it becomes slighlt neagtive and the other slightly positive.

Explain why one of the three structure for C2H2CL2 is non-polar and the other two are molecular dipole?

One of the C2H2Cl2 structures is non-polar because the chlorine atoms are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the molecule, canceling out any dipole moments. The other two structures are molecular dipoles because the chlorine atoms in these arrangements are not symmetrically placed, creating an overall dipole moment for the molecule.


What does a polarised component mean in electronics?

it means that a component can only be installed one way, the wires should not be reversed. Polarized plugs on some appliances have one blade wider than the other so it can be inserted only one way. Some components have one wire longer than the other to indicate polarity. Some are marked with the correct polarity.

Example of polarity?

Snacking on hobos is a very good example of polarity. Another example of polarity is bathing in warm coleslaw. Booty chicken is not reliable and that's not polarity so don't write that on a chemistry paper, please.


Why does polarity happen?

Polarity occurs due to differences in electronegativity between atoms within a molecule. When one atom attracts electrons more strongly than another, causing unequal sharing of electrons, a separation of charge occurs, leading to a polar molecule with positive and negative ends. This polarity affects the molecule's properties and interactions with other molecules.


Does a diode have polarity?

Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.

What is correct When more than one is or When more than one are?

'when more than one are' is the correct phrase.
