YES
The shape is trigonal bipyramidal and all the atoms on the outside are the same so the charges cancel eachother. Nonpolar
A non-polar molecule is a molecule that is symmetrical in the sense that the atoms on the outside pull equally on the central atom, thus not causing any differences in electronegativity.
CO2 is a linear molecule...the C in the middle and the the oxygens double bonded on opposite ends.... the electronegativities of the oxygens cancel each other out and Dipole moment becomes zero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carbon-dioxide-2D-dimensions.svg (picture from wikipedia).
Yes a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it.if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar
Carbon tetrachloride is tetrahedron shaped, it is 100% symmetrical. Thus all the 4 bond dipole moments cancel each other and the net dipole moment is zero.
The two factors are 1) the polarity of the bonds between the atoms in the molecule, and 2) the shape of the molecule. Basically, if the bonds are non-polar, the molecule is. If the bonds are polar, but the molecule is in such a shape that they cancel each other, the molecule is non-polar. If the bonds are polar and the molecule's shape doesn't cause them to cancel, the molecule is polar.
CBr4 is non polar in structure and nonpolar in bonding while finding the difference of electronegativity
If the difference in electronegativity is greater than 0.3 than it is Polar. Nitrogen and Bromine the difference is less than .3 so it is nonpolar
The C2H4 molecule is nonpolar as a whole. The individual bonds in the molecule are moderately polar, but the molecule is symmetrical around its center line, and the polarities of the individual bonds cancel each other out at any visually perceptible distance away from the molecule.
No. The individual bonds are polar, but the molecule as a whole is symmetric and therefore nonpolar.
no its not polar because when we draw the lewis diagram of c2f4 it is symetrical so the positive and negative charges cancel each other out. so it is the same case as co2..... hope this helped. sry for bad communication. i wrote it pretty fast.....

The molecule of carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar.
same
CCl4 is a non polar molecule because though each of the C-Cl bond is polar but the resultant of all these dipole moments is zero as its a symmetrical tetrahedral shape molecule ,and their is a cancellation of dipole moment in each pair
