Question

Which term is used to describe a molecule that has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial negative charge at the other end? A.)nonpolar B.)dipole C.) planar D.) linear

Answer 1

Dipole. A dipole means two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance

Answer 2

In a B.) dipole molecule, a partial positive charge is placed on one end and the partial charge is placed in another end.  

Explanation:

Dipole is a term which describes molecules that have equal and opposite charges on either ends.

Molecules are formed when the atoms share or give their electrons. If the electrons are shared equally, there is no charge on the resulting molecule and it is called a non-polar molecule.

On the other hand, if the molecule gets a positive or a negative charge, it is a polar molecule. A molecule is said to be planar if all the atoms arranged themselves around a central molecule. A planar molecule exists in a single two-dimensional plane. If the atoms are in straight line, then the molecule is said to be linear molecule.
