FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is molecular polarity?

Back

Molecular polarity refers to the distribution of electrical charge over the atoms in a molecule. A molecule is polar if it has a net dipole moment due to the presence of polar bonds and an asymmetrical shape.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What determines if a molecule is polar or non-polar?

Back

A molecule's polarity is determined by its shape and the electronegativity differences between the atoms. If the molecule has polar bonds and an asymmetrical shape, it is polar. If it has non-polar bonds or a symmetrical shape, it is non-polar.
