Polar and NonPolar Molecules

For diatomic molecules, polarity determined from:

• Bond Polarity and

  Symmetry

• Symmetry only

• Bond Polarity only

• Distance of atoms with each other.

It is an atom's tendency to attract electrons in chemical bonds.

NGSS.HS-PS1-1

Electronegativity increases to the right. Which is more electronegative Hydrogen or Nitrogen?

For a diatomic molecule like Br2, what is its polarity?

• Polar

• Non-Polar

• Slightly Polar

• Bipolar

For a diatomic molecule CN, what is the polarity?

For polyatomic molecules (3 atoms or more), polarity is determined from:

• Bond polarity only

• Symmetry only

• Bond polarity and Symmetry

• Distance of atoms with each other

Let's consider a polyatomic molecule.

If outer atoms are NOT the same or the central atom has lone pair, what is the polarity?

In a polyatomic molecule, the outer atoms are identical, and the central atom do not have lone pair.

What is the polarity?

For a polyatomic molecule Carbon tetrachloride or CCl4, what is the polarity?
