Question

Imagine there are many of the molecules above (Atom A at “more” electronegative, Atom B at “less” electronegative) within close interaction. How would you expect them to orient near each other? Do you think their polarity would strengthen or weaken their interactions and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

their polarity would attract them closer to each other because if one is more electronegative, it would have more electrons, meaning it would have a weak negative charge. If one is less electronegative it would have fewer electrons around it meaning it would have a weak positive charge. Since they have opposite charges or polarity, their attractions are strengthened.
