Question

Hydrogen flouride exists as a dipole

Answer 1

Hello mate ,  

thanks for asking this essential question.  

# As you know , the dipole is formed when the components of any compound have a very large Electronegativity Difference.  

Due to the large Electronegativity difference , one of the Cation ( positively charged ) and Anion (negatively charged ) gets Polarized.  

$POLARIZATION \:=>$


polarization is nothing but the excess stretching of the atom due to strong attractive force of another atom in the same compound.  



# ®Here , in case of Hydrogen fluoride , the fluorine is the element which has the greatest electronegativity (=4) in the periodic table.  

this Fluorine attracts Hydrogen atom strongly due to which polarization of Hydrogen atom takes place.  


Due to this polarization results in the production of $Dipole$ between Hydrogen and fluorine .  


Hence ,    


® HYDROGEN FLUORIDE EXISTS AS A DIPOLE ®
