what is negative potential?

Question

inductive effect on organic molecules

Answer 1

opposite to +ve potential is the -ve potential

Answer 2

The concept of potential is native to electrostatics. That is where it originated from. In that, the actual values of potentials themselves do not have much meaning. What is meaningful is the potential difference between two points. You never quite use the potential at a single point for any calculation! You always compare a potential with another one. For example the potential at point A is higher than that at point B, say. Then it means that if you connect two points by a conductor (resistor), electrons will flow from point A to point B.

Ideally you are best off if you picked your lowest potential in the problem as zero potential. But it might so happen that later you found another point that has even lower potential than your point that you thought was the lowest! In that case you can assign a negative potential to that point. Your calculations won't change because you always use differences and the potential differences don't change. Or, still better add a uniform potential to all points so that the negative value shifts to zero. Still no difference there!

Now, if you are talking about chemistry - they have a different convention, I guess!

Answer 3

As such the organic molecules or hydrocarbons are nonpolar in nature. For example, water is a polar solvent but kerosine oil is not so they are not miscible.

Consider alkanes, the alkanes contains only carbon and hydrogen and the electronegativity difference between the two are quite less.
So there is no charge separation. But suppose you will replace a hydrogen atom from the carbon chain with a halogen atom like fluorine or chlorine, then the difference of electronegativity between the carbon atom and the halogen atom will be high and hence the shared pair of electron between the carbon and the halogen atom will be shifted more towards the halogen atom. This will in turn make the halogen atom aquire partial negative charge and the carbon atom aquire partial positive charge. this effect of permanent displacement of electronic charge towards the more electronegative atom in a carbon chain is called inductive effect.
C ----- Cl
(+ve) (- ve)
For this reason chloro acetic acid will be a stronger acid than acetic acid.

Answer 4

Negative Potential is an organic molecule found in every individual which transmit orders to brain to do things which are against the normal procedures. In other words your mind will act against the norms and will find solace in doing the bad things. Take an example . You love your hubby and at the same time you also love your b/f . which is normally not approved socially. But you mind will find jutification to do such things which are not approved by the society. You will think that your hubby is not as good as your b/f. You will thus do things against the society and will fine justification and doing the things approved by your brain.

Answer 5

Negative potential just means the electricity is traveling the other way

Answer 6

WHEN OUR VOLTAGE SOURCE GIVES MORE POTENTIAL THAN ELECTRON POTENTIAL THAN IT NEGATIVE POTENTIAL .IT GIVE ELECTRON REVERSE DIRECTION MOVEMENT

Answer 7

haaan????
