  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    These effects add as vectors to make the overall molecule polar. A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges (i.e. having partial positive and partial negative charges) from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically. Water (H 2 O) is an example of a polar molecule since it has a slight positive charge on one side and a ...

  3. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    The polarizability of an atom or molecule is defined as the ratio of its induced dipole moment to the local electric field; in a crystalline solid, one considers the dipole moment per unit cell. [1] Note that the local electric field seen by a molecule is generally different from the macroscopic electric field that would be measured externally.

  4. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    When an ionic or polar compound enters water, it is surrounded by water molecules . The relatively small size of water molecules (~ 3 angstroms) allows many water molecules to surround one molecule of solute. The partially negative dipole ends of the water are attracted to positively charged components of the solute, and vice versa for the ...

  5. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    An example of a dipole–dipole interaction can be seen in hydrogen chloride (HCl): the positive end of a polar molecule will attract the negative end of the other molecule and influence its position. Polar molecules have a net attraction between them. Examples of polar molecules include hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chloroform (CHCl 3).

  6. Hypothetical types of biochemistry - Wikipedia

    Hydrogen fluoride (HF), like water, is a polar molecule, and due to its polarity it can dissolve many ionic compounds. At atmospheric pressure , its melting point is 189.15 K (−84.00 °C), and its boiling point is 292.69 K (19.54 °C); the difference between the two is a little more than 100 K. HF also makes hydrogen bonds with its neighbor ...

  7. Polar surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_surface_area

    Molecules with a polar surface area of greater than 140 angstroms squared (Å 2) tend to be poor at permeating cell membranes. [1] For molecules to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (and thus act on receptors in the central nervous system), a PSA less than 90 Å 2 is usually needed. [2] TPSA is a valuable tool in drug discovery and development.

  8. Pi-interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-interaction

    In chemistry, π-effects or π-interactions are a type of non-covalent interaction that involves π systems.Just like in an electrostatic interaction where a region of negative charge interacts with a positive charge, the electron-rich π system can interact with a metal (cationic or neutral), an anion, another molecule and even another π system. [1]

  9. Iodine monochloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_monochloride

    Iodine monochloride is an interhalogen compound with the formula ICl.It is a red-brown chemical compound that melts near room temperature.Because of the difference in the electronegativity of iodine and chlorine, this molecule is highly polar and behaves as a source of I +.
