Best Answer

No, first xenon is an element, and so cannot be polar.

Second, it is monatomic, and a single atom cannot be polar.

Is xenon tetrafluoride polar?

No. Carbon tetrafuoride is a non polar molecule but with polar covalents bonds. the polar covalent bonds sort of cancel each other out on each opposite side (because of it's symmetry) making it non polar overall. (CF4 is tetrahedral)


XeF3 polar or nonpolar?

The fluoride XeF3 is not known; the other xenon fluorides are nonpolar.


Is xenon pentafluoride ion polar or nonpolar?

It will be weakly polar as a neutral compound, due to the presence of 1 unshared pair of electrons around the central xenon atom. (Additionally, the relatively large number of electrons in this compound will yield temporary dipoles in the form of dispersion forces.) If it's an ion, then I would need to know its charge. If its charge is +2 (meaning it has lost 2 electrons,) then that ion would be non-polar.


Is xenon diodide polar nonpolar or ionic?

Non-polar because Iodine is evenly 'distributed' or the molecule's angles are 180 degrees, and since there is equal pull from each iodine, and no lone pairs, the answer is nonpolar.
