Which of the following is a true statement?
Which of the following is a true statement?
The correct option is C In polar compounds separation of charges take place.
Explanation for Correct option:
The polar compound is made up of molecules connected by chemical bonds in such a way that the charge distribution is unsymmetrical, resulting in partial positive and partial negative charges. Polar bonds have polarity and produce ions in solution.
Polar compounds possess large difference in electronegativity and hence, charge separation takes place.
Explanation for Incorrect options:
A) In polar compounds shared pair of electrons is away from the more electronegative atom- false statement as in polar compounds, shared pair of electrons are close to more electronegative atom.
B) Polar compounds are good conductors of electricity in their vapor state- false statement as polar compounds lack ions in vapor state and hence, are bad conductors in vapor state.
D) Polar compounds are good conductors of electricity in solid state - false statement as polar compounds lack ions in solid state and hence, are bad conductors in solid state.
Hence, the correct option is (C). In polar compounds separation of charges take place.
