Consider the following and determine if they are polar H3O plus PCl5 H2S and CF4?
H3O+- polar,asymmetrical (hydronium cation) PCl5 - polar asymmetrical (phosphorus pentachloride) H2S - polar, symmetrical (hydrogen sulfide) CF4 - polar symmetrical (carbon tetrafluoride)
Why is H2O an example of polar molecules?
h2o is an example of a polar molecule because when you look at the molecule it is not symmetrical. therefore it is polar.
Why is the water has 180 degrees become non polar?
All straight molecules are nonpolar, so water would by default be nonpolar.
Is NH3 asymmetrical?
Yes
How do you determine if a molecule is over all polar or non polar by finding if it a asymmetrical or symmetrical?
First, you should determine the geometry of the molecule. How many atoms or lone pairs are associated with the central atom? Is the molecular geometry linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, etc. Secondly, you need to determine the electronegativity of the atoms bonded together in the molecule. Polarity is all about electronegativity and how tightly bound electrons are to particular atoms in a molecule. Lone pair electrons on the central atom are obviously quite electronegative and should be accounted for as such. Halogens and other extremely electronegative atoms will provide a strong negative charge due to their affinity for electrons. If the molecule is symmetrical it is to be expected to be non-polar, and if it is asymmetrical it would be expected to be polar, but this is not always the case. For instance, a water molecule is symmetrical, but it is polar due to the pull of the lone pair electrons of the oxygen atom.

What is an asymmetrical sail?
"Asymmetrical" is a description of the shape of the perimeter (outline) of the sail. It just means that it is not symmetrical.

most ponges are asymmetrical, some are radially symmetrical. in shape, they maybe cylindrical,vase-like,rounded,sac-like or branched.
Are self portraits symmetrical or asymmetrical?
They can be either. It is up to the painter.
