Question
Chapter 8, Problem 115QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The molecule that would align with an electric field, if placed in a capacitor is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polar molecules align in an electric field. The polarity of a molecule is decided on the basis of symmetry. Symmetrical molecules are non-polar molecules and asymmetrical molecules are polar molecules.
