Best Answer

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.

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.


What is meant polarity?

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 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.


Does a diode have polarity?

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

What is mean polar?

What is meant by polarity? Answer An electric charge has a polarity of either positive or negative. Also a voltage has a polarity, in that it could be positive or negative, with respect to some other voltage, such as the one at the other end of a battery or electric circuit.

Why is the polarity of the output and input is same in ac transformer?

polarity play essential role in protection purpose if you have done wrong polarity in yours system then protection will operate under normal operationFurther AnswerThe polarity of a single-phase transformer describes the phase relationship of the secondary voltage relative to the primary voltage. Polarity is described as being either 'additive' or 'subtractive'. Knowing a transformer's polarity is one of the essential requirements for paralleling a pair of individual transformers.
