Consider the following compounds in the liquid form: O 2 , HF , H 2 O , NH 3 , H 2 O 2 , CCl 4 , CHCl 3 , C…

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

Polar compound show deflection by charged comb

So, HF, H2O, NH3, H2O2, CHCl3, C6H5Cl shows deflection by charged comb.
