Why is BF3 non-polar?

a)

BF3 is nonpolar in nature due to the fact it's far exceptionally symmetric in shape. Vector sum of the dipole moments of 3 polar bonds of every B-F bond is 0 due to the trigonal planar shape of boron trifluoride.

127.

What would be the effect on the polarity of the molecule formed when CCl4 has one Cl replaced by an H? Explain why.

a)

Answer: Polarized.

Description: See the photograph below. I understand it sucks, however allow me explain: ΔE is electronegativity. The better the ΔE of a substance, the greater electrons it is able to attract. Cl has better electronegativity than C and H. But of direction there's some other Cl with the identical amount. Therefore, if we've a tetrahedral spatial configuration as withinside the left figure, all Cl cancel different electrostatic forces. However, changing Cl with H offers a dipole second pointing to Cl going through hydrogen as the suitable pull. The look of the ensuing dipole suggests the presence of polar compounds.

b)

c)

CCl4 is non-polar because all four dipoles are equal and cancel each other.Introduction of a H would give<rise to three identical dipoles that are not aligned in such a way to cancel each other so it would become polar.

128.

London dispersion forces

a)

are due to random motions of electrons

b)

are due to random motions of molecules

are seen between polar atoms

d)

are a result of differing electronegativities between two atoms

129.

Dispersion forces are a form of van der Waals interactions.

a)

True

b)

False

130.

Why would London dispersion forces be so weak?

a)

London dispersion forces are intermolecular forces that occur between all atoms and molecules due to the random motion of electrons. This forms a weak and temporary dipole. They are fluctuating at all times and do not exist in a static form,>so they are not permanent.

b)

Electrons in adjacent molecules "run away" when they repel each other, thus redistributing the electron density of one molecule in the vicinity of another.

131.

At room temperature, molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas.

a)

True

b)

False
