Select ALL of the following that can be used to explain the polarities of NO2 and SeCl42- (these molecules are mentioned in earlier questions). NO2 has a permanent dipole moment or a net dipole moment greater than zero whereas SeCl42- has no net or zero dipole moment. Both molecules are symmetrical and hence nonpolar Due to their respective shapes, in NO2 the bond dipole moments reinforce each other whereas in SeCl42- they cancel out each other. NO2 has no net dipole moment and SeCl42- has a net dipole moment greater than zero. NO2 is an unsymmetrical molecule whereas SeCl42- is a symmetrical ion.

Which of the following statements is/are correct? l. Water is good at dissolving ions and polar molecules, but poor at dissolving nonpolar molecules. ll. A polar molecule is one that is uncharged, but has an asymmetric internal distribution of charge, leading to partially positive and partially negative regions. lll. Water interacts differently with charged and polar substances than with nonpolar substances because of the polarity of its own molecules. lV. Water molecules are polar, with partial positive charges on the hydrogen, a partial, and negative charge on the oxygen.
