In a symmetrical molecule do the dipole charges cancel out and make the molecule nonpolar?
YES
Is HAsCl4 polar or nonpolar?
The shape is trigonal bipyramidal and all the atoms on the outside are the same so the charges cancel eachother. Nonpolar
What does nonpolar substance mean?
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.
Why is a molecule of CO2 nonpolar even though the bonds between the carbon and the oxygen atoms are polar?
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).
What condition must be met if a molecule having polar bonds is to be non polar?
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

YES
What determines if a molecule is polar nonpolar or ionic?
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.
Is CBr4 polar or nonpolar?
CBr4 is non polar in structure and nonpolar in bonding while finding the difference of electronegativity
Why is NBr3 a non-polar molecule?
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
Is the compound C2H8 polar?
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.
Is CCl4 polar or non pollar?
No. The individual bonds are polar, but the molecule as a whole is symmetric and therefore nonpolar.
Is CF4 a polar or nonpolar molecule?
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.....

How can a molecule nonpolar overall and still contain polar bonds?
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.
Is ccl4 polar or non polar?
The molecule of carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar.
When is a symmetrical molecule polar?
same
