Move the Electric Field slider to the on position. Two charged metal plates appear beside the molecule. Again, move the electronegativity sliders to various positions. What causes the molecule to rotate?
o When the molecule's bond character is at its most ionic, it spins continuously between the plates due to its
momentum.
O When the molecule's bond character is at its most covalent, the molecule flips its orientation between the plates.
o When the A atom's electronegativity is greatest, it becomes attracted to the negatively charged plate and rotates
toward it.
o When the partially negative side is near the negative plate, the molecule rotates because like charges repel and
opposite charges attract.
