CO2 is linear, so even though the C−O bonds have individual dipole moments, the overall dipole moment is zero as these cancel out (they point in opposite directions, as shown in the diagram below).
On the other hand, H2O is "bent", which means that the individual dipole moments of the bond are at an angle to each other and because of Presence of lp on head of O atom in H2O therefore it has max dipole moment.
If an excess of is treated with , then_____will be produced wherein the oxidation number of P is +3. The compound is
Whenever a reaction between an oxidising agent and a reducing agent is carried out, a compound of lower oxidation state is formed if the reducing agent is in excess and a compound of higher oxidation state is formed if the oxidising agent is in excess. This can be illustrated as follows:
P4 and F2 are reducing and oxidising agents respectively. If an excess of P4 is treated with F2, then PF3 will be produced, wherein the oxidation number (O.N.) of P is +3.
Consider the unbalanced chemical equation ,
----- Al + ------ → ------ .
The equation for above reaction can be balanced by inserting the following in blank spaces
