A chemist is investigating a compound that they know has 2 identical atoms attached to a central atom (of a different element). They also have measured the molecular geometry and know that there is a bond angle of 120 degrees along the molecule, in a "bent" or v-shaped geometry. Based on this information, which statement below is accurate concerning the polarity of this unknown molecule? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a The molecule will be polar. The molecule will not be polar. The molecule will be polar, only if there is a sufficient difference in electronegativity between the two elements involved. d. The molecule will be polar, only if the electronegativities of the two elements involved are nearly equal.

Decide whether each molecule or polyatomic ion is polar or nonpolar. If the molecule or polyatomic ion is polar, write the chemical symbol of the atom closest to the negative side. For example, if the molecule were HCl and you decided the hydrogen atom was closest to the negative side of the molecule, you'd enter "H" in the last column of the table.
Please draw the following Lewis structures (there are three). For each structure please identify the following. The total number of valence electrons (show work) A drawing of the correct Lewis structure The geometry of the molecule (required: give a one sentence justification of the geometry) The shape of the molecule (required: give a one sentence justification of the shape) Determine if the overall molecule is polar (required: give a one sentence justification of this answer) draw a Lewis structure and identify valence electrons, geometry, and shape. the three molecules are: TeI2Please enter in the total number of valence electrons for TeI2: A molecule composed of atom A with 5 valence electrons, and atom B with 7 valence electrons, and a formula of AB3. The AB bond is a polar bond.Please enter in the geometry of AB3: PF4+ (notice the positive charge)Please enter in the shape of PF4+:
Can you please check my work. (the structure is in the picture) A) What is the Chemical Formula and number of unshared electron PAIRS in the skeletal structure below? the chemical formula should be C6H15S2O3N and the number of unshared electron pairs is 6.B) Draw the Lewis Structure and for each bond in the molecule, indicate if the bond is polar or non-polar. Use the +-------> notation to show the direction of polarity (arrow pointing to δ-) for all polar bonds. For non-polar bonds, put NP in a small circle next to that bond. The only polar bonds should be between NH (point towards N), OH (point towards O), and SO (point towards S)
Draw another microscopic sketch of a small section of stream with the charged comb nearby. In your sketch, draw at least 2 layers of at least 10 water molecules. Show the polarization orientation of each water molecule in the stream of water when the charged comb is nearby. What is the distinct feature of the orientation of each molecule’s polarity in this second situation?
