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. molecule or polar or nonpolar? atom closest to negative side polyatomic ion O polar cs, O nonpolar O polar HCI O nonpolar O polar SiF, O nonpolar
