Explain why nitrogen trifluoride has a small dipole moment even though it has polar bonds in a trigonal pyramidal arrangement.
Is the Cl2BBCl2 molecule polar or nonpolar?
CH3COCH3 (acetone) is a common laboratory solvent that is often used in nail polish remover. Its Lewis structure and space-filling molecular image are shown here: Acetone is a polar molecule; the oxygen end has a slightly negative charge (oxygen is more electronegative), whereas the carbon and hydrogen end has a slightly positive charge. In liquid acetone, the molecules are attracted to each other via these polar ends-the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of its neighbor-and therefore align as shown here: Draw a Lewis structure and space-filling molecular image for CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane), another common laboratory solvent. Is the molecule polar? Which end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge? Which end has a slightly positive charge? Draw several space-filling molecular images of CH2Cl2 showing how they align in liquid dichloromethane.

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.
Germanium chloride, GeCl2, has only two atoms surrounding the central germanium atom. Why then is the germanium chloride molecule bent? Group of answer choices There is a covalent bond between the two chlorine atoms. Lone pairs of electrons on the chlorine atoms push it to this orientation. It is bent only periodically as it swings between both bent and linear shapes. A lone pair of electrons on germanium pushes it to this orientation.
