As an example of the minor contribution other formation reactions play, the reaction: H 2 + NH 2 → NH 3 + H. has a rate constant of 2.2 × 10 −15. Assuming H 2 densities of 10 5 and [NH 2]/[H 2] ratio of 10 −7, this reaction proceeds at a rate of 2.2 × 10 −12, more than three orders of magnitude slower than the primary reaction above.
Note that the dipole moments drawn in this diagram represent the shift of the valence electrons as the origin of the charge, which is opposite the direction of the actual electric dipole moment. The bond dipole moment [5] uses the idea of electric dipole moment to measure the polarity of a chemical bond within a molecule. It occurs whenever ...
In contrast to NH 3, NF 3 has a much lower dipole moment of 0.234 D. Fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen and the polarity of the N-F bonds is opposite to that of the N-H bonds in ammonia, so that the dipole due to the lone pair opposes the N-F bond dipoles, resulting in a low molecular dipole moment.

Table data (above) obtained from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 44th ed. The (s) notation indicates equilibrium temperature of vapor over solid. Otherwise temperature is equilibrium of vapor over liquid.
It is moderately polar with a dipole moment of 0.6 D. The nitrogen center is basic but much less so than ammonia. It is hydrolyzed by hot water to release ammonia and hypochlorous acid. NCl 3 + 3 H 2 O → NH 3 + 3 HOCl. Concentrated samples of NCl 3 can explode to give N 2 and chlorine gas. 2 NCl 3 → N 2 + 3 Cl 2
Trimethylamine is prepared by the reaction of ammonia and methanol employing a catalyst: [5] 3 CH 3 OH + NH 3 → (CH 3) 3 N + 3 H 2 O. This reaction coproduces the other methylamines, dimethylamine (CH 3) 2 NH and methylamine CH 3 NH 2. Trimethylammonium chloride has been prepared by a reaction of ammonium chloride and paraformaldehyde: [9]
A CN bond is strongly polarized towards nitrogen (the electronegativities of C and N are 2.55 and 3.04, respectively) and subsequently molecular dipole moments can be high: cyanamide 4.27 D, diazomethane 1.5 D, methyl azide 2.17, pyridine 2.19. For this reason many compounds containing CN bonds are water-soluble.
In contrast, the dipole moments of amines decrease with substitution, starting with ammonia, which has a dipole moment of 1.47 D. The low dipole moment and almost orthogonal bond angles lead to the conclusion that in PH 3 the P−H bonds are almost entirely pσ(P) – sσ(H) and phosphorus 3s orbital contributes little to the P-H bonding. For ...
