NGSS.MS-PS1-1

Is this molecule polar?

• _Yes

• _No

NGSS.HS-PS2-6

Is this molecule polar?

• No, there are four things around the central atom.

• _{Yes, the dipole moment (+-->)would point to the purple area that represents the unbonded pair of electrons.}

What is the the shape of this molecule according to VSPER theory?
