Medical offices generally run a series of reports each day that are used to ensure that the accounts are balancing, and that no fraud or theft is occurring. This section will examine the reporting process that should be used daily in order to ensure balance within the practice accounts.
Hydrogen chloride is a diatomic molecule, consisting of a hydrogen atom H and a chlorine atom Cl connected by a covalent single bond. Since the chlorine atom is much more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, the covalent bond between the two atoms is quite polar. Consequently, the molecule has a large dipole moment with a negative partial charge Î´ â at the chlorine atom and a positive partial charge Î´ + at the hydrogen atom.
This type of chemical bond is called an ionic bond because the bond formed between two ions of opposite charge. The sodium cation (Na +) and the chlorine anion (Cl-) are attracted to one another to form sodium chloride, or table salt.
