Given six molecules, identify the molecules with polar bonds and the molecules that are polar. CCl4, CH3Cl, H20, CO2, O2

Non-polar compounds: , ,

Polar compounds: ,

Explanation:

For this question, we must start with the Lewis structure for each molecule and then we can do their respective analysis:

-)

In this case, we have 4 equal atoms attached to the central atom. Therefore, we have the same magnitude of electronegativity. Chlorine atoms have different and opposite directions. Therefore due to the orientation the dipole moments cancel and the net dipole moment will be zero and the molecule will be non-polar.

-)

In this case, we have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the opposite. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be non-polar.

-)

In this case, we also have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the opposite. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be non-polar.

-)

For this molecule, we have a different atom. The hydrogen atom, therefore the magnitude of one of the atoms attached to the central atom is different and the magnitude of the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be polar.

-)

For this molecule, due to the structure of the molecule, the dipole moments of oxygens will not have a totally opposite configuration. Therefore, the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be polar.

I hope it helps!

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
