Question
  1. Draw the Lewis structure of these compounds and use the electronegativity values, calculate the polarity of the molecules and write if the compounds will be polar, nonpolar, or ionic. Label the + and -next to the atoms of the molecule if they have charge. Also, write the overall dipole.
  1. HCN
  2. CH₂CHCl
  3. CH₃CH₃
  4. CO₂
Expert Solution
Step 1

Different type of compounds have different bond types and different electron distributions between their constituent atoms . According to their different electronegative nature of atoms charge of some polar compounds can be shown by Delta + or Delta -, while for non polar Molecules,there is no charge distribution. 

 

By help of electronegativity values we can know about the nature of bonds present in compound. If electronegativity difference is less than or equal to 0.4 ,then Molecule is non polar. If it's value more than 0.4 but less than 1.8 ,then Molecule is polar covalent. And if the value more than 1.8 ,then compound is ionic in nature.
