For each bond, show the direction of polarity by placing a + sign next to the atom expected to have a partial positive charge and a − sign next to the atom expected to have a partial negative charge.

(B) { } Ge-Br { }
(C) { } Br-Se { }

Sagot :

Answer:

A) { + } Ge-Se { -}

B) { + } Ge-Br { - }

C) { - } Br-Se { + }

Explanation:

The (-)ive sign shall be placed for the atom with higher electronegativity, while the other atom will be electropositive.  

a) Electronegativity of Ge = 2.01

Electronegativity of Se = 2.55

{ + } Ge-Se { -}

b) Electronegativity of Ge = 2.01

Electronegativity of Br = 2.95

{ + } Ge-Br { - }

c) Electronegativity of Br = 2.95

Electronegativity of Se = 2.55

{ - } Br-Se { + }
