That statement is incorrect. HF is a polar molecule because fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the electron density to be pulled closer to the fluorine atom. As a result, HF has a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the fluorine atom.
In SF6, the hydrogen fluoride (HF) can be formed through a reaction involving sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and water vapor. When SF6 comes into contact with water, it breaks down into HF and sulfur dioxide (SO2). This reaction can occur under certain conditions, releasing HF as a byproduct.
No, water is not the only molecule that is polar. Other examples of polar molecules include ammonia (NH3), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and hydrogen chloride (HCl). These molecules have an uneven distribution of charge, causing a separation of positive and negative regions.
An exothermic reaction is represented by an equation in which the products have lower energy than the reactants. This is typically indicated by the release of heat as a product in the reaction. For example: A + B → C + heat.
EXTREMELY!!!!! exothermic. As in fires and explosions exothermic.
