It's polar. If you draw out its Lewis structure, you'll see that it has a pair of lone electrons, which has a greater electronegativity than any bonding pair can possibly have. Because of the electronegativity of the lone pairs, the bonding pairs are pushed closer together, making the compound asymmetrical and therefore polar.

Could one what molecules has polar bonds and is non polar hf icl3 nf3 sf4 and bf3?

Among the molecules listed, HF and NF3 have polar bonds due to differences in electronegativity between the bonded atoms. ICl3, SF4, and BF3 are nonpolar because the bond dipoles cancel out in these molecules, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of charge.

How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?

Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.


T shaped molecules are they polar or non polar?

T-shaped molecules can be polar or nonpolar, depending on the atoms involved and the overall molecular structure. For example, a T-shaped molecule like ClF3 is polar due to the uneven distribution of electron density caused by the different electronegativities of the atoms. On the other hand, a T-shaped molecule like SF4 is nonpolar because the dipole moments cancel each other out.
