yes. This is a compound between two non metals, with similar electronegativities. The compound is usually called methane.
Covalent molecules which contain only bonds between elements of similar electronegativity. For example: Carbon and hydrogen. They must not contain polar bonds like Oxygen and hydrogen.
yes
Bonds between carbon and hydrogen are non-polar.
Carbon dioxide
P4: Nonpolar covalent bonds. H2S: Polar covalent bonds. NO2: Polar covalent bonds. S2Cl2: Nonpolar covalent bonds.
No. Carbon dioxide has polar bonds, but the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because it is symmetric.
The bonds in CF4 are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and fluorine. However, the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because the dipole moments of the polar bonds cancel each other out.
carbon dioxide
Of the gases listed, only CO2 contains polar bonds. The oxygen atom in CO2 is more electronegative than the carbon atoms, creating an asymmetrical distribution of electron density and resulting in a polar molecule.
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is considered nonpolar because it has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape with four identical covalent bonds between carbon and chlorine atoms. The electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine is not significant enough to create a polar molecule.
No, polar molecules do not always contain carbon. Polar molecules are characterized by having an uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a dipole moment, which can occur in various compounds regardless of their elemental composition. Common examples of polar molecules include water (H₂O) and ammonia (NH₃), both of which do not contain carbon. Therefore, while many organic polar molecules do contain carbon, it is not a requirement for a molecule to be polar.
