Question
Give a reason for HF is a polar molecule
Advertisements
Solution
- When a covalent bond is formed between two atoms of different elements that have different electronegativities, the shared electron pair does not remain at the centre. The electron pair is pulled towards the more electronegative atom resulting in the separation of charges.
- In H-F, fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. Therefore, the shared electron pair is pulled towards fluorine and fluorine acquires partial −ve charge and simultaneously hydrogen acquires partial +ve charge. This gives rise to dipole and the H-F bond becomes polar. Hence, H-F is a polar molecule.
