Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the following molecule is polar or non-polar should be determined:
Concept introduction:
Polarity of any individual bond is determined by the electro-negativities of the atoms forming a bond. Any covalent bond is non-polar when two identical atoms or of similar electro-negativity are bonded together.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the following molecule is polar or non-polar should be determined:
Concept introduction:
Polarity of any individual bond is determined by the electro-negativities of the atoms forming a bond. Any covalent bond is non-polar when two identical atoms or of similar electro-negativity are bonded together.
(c)

- Which of the following molecules is(are) polar? For each polar molecule indicate the direction of polaritythat is, which is the negative end, and which is the positive end of the molecule. (a) BeCl2 (b) HBF2 (c) CH3Cl (d) SO3arrow_forwardIs the Cl2BBCl2 molecule polar or nonpolar?arrow_forwardDetermine whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar: CF4, CH4, NH3. EN values: C: 2.6; H: 2.2; F: 4.0; N: 3.0.Start with Lewis structure then draw the shape of the molecule →determine the polarity of the bond(s) →provide the orientation of the dipoles to determine polarity of the moleculearrow_forward
