Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation , q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is debye. One debye is equal to 10^(-18) esu cm. Dipole moments is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the geometry of a molecules. Dipole moment values can be distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers, ortho, meta and pare-forms of a substance, etc. Q. Which of the following statement is correct regarding C_(2)H_(2)F_(2) molecule?

The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and physical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configuration of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a period from left to right. As a consequence, the ionization enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionization enthalpy of the exterme left element in a period is the least and teh electron gain enthalpy of the element on the exterme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at the two extermes and the lowest in he centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies and a regular decrease (with exception in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements. The loss and gain of electrons can be co-related with the reducting and oxidising behaviour, and also with metallic and non-metallic character respectively, of the elements.
