Hi I really don’t understand this part. It isn’t in my Grade 9 syllabus but alot of points in my notes touch on dipole in atoms. Can someone explain it to me using analogies or just simple words?
For example, heres an extract from my notes:
1. Most ionic compounds are soluble due to favourable ion-dipole interactions
1. water separates positive ions from negative ions, causing them to dissolve
In: Chemistry
Every atom in a molecule has an electronegativity. The electrons between two atoms are nearer to the atom with the higher electronegativity. If every electron in a molecule go in the same direction, there are two magnetic poles, because of the negative charge of them. Thats a dipole. I wouldn’t be a dipole if as example the electrons all go to one atom. (Sorry for bad english)
