Question

Consider the following compounds in the liquid form:O2,HF,H2O,NH3,H2O2,CCl4,CHCl3,C6H6,C6H5Cl

When a charged comb is brought near their flowing stream, how many of them show deflection as per the following figure?

Solution

Only polar molecules are deflected by charged comb because the deflection is mainly due to some extent of electrostatic interactions.
Here polar molecules are:HF,H2O,NH3,H2O2,CHCl3,C6H5Cl
Non-polar molecules are: O2,CCl4, Benzene
