Is CH3OCH3 Polar and Does XeF2 Have Polarity?

AI Thread Summary
CH3OCH3, also known as dimethyl ether, does not exhibit hydrogen bonding due to the absence of OH or NH groups, which are necessary for such interactions. Instead, it relies on weaker intermolecular forces. Regarding XeF2, it is classified as non-polar because of its linear molecular geometry, which results from having three lone pairs and two bonded fluorine atoms. This geometry leads to a symmetrical distribution of charge, confirming its non-polar nature. For further clarification on these topics, consulting a chemistry textbook is recommended.

Does CH3OCH3 has any H bond between it's molecule?
(It should has H bond but in my book it has no one ):confused:

And does XeF2 has polarity?
(Actaully,my book it has no one.again)
That's why I'm not sure.

H-Bonding is referring to "Intermolecular bonding", which is actually not a bond but a force that attracts the molecules together. There would need to be an OH group or even an NH group in order to have this. Water is a perfect example of H-Bonding.

The molecule you mentioned does not have the possibility of this type of bonding.

Thanks,I understood it.
And what about polarity of XeF2.

no CH3OCH3 does not have any H bonding in it

and XeF2 is non-polar as it have 3 lone pair and 2 attachments its molecular geometery is linear
 
Thanks a lot.
 
I think a book on Chemistry from your school library can help you quickly solve problems like that...
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
