Nonpolar

Why:

Fluorine is more electronegative than sulfur, so the bond dipoles point toward fluorine. The six S-F bonds are arranged octahedrally around the central sulfur. F F

\ /

F-S-F

/ \

F F Because the octahedral geometry is symmetrical, the bond dipoles cancel, and the molecule is nonpolar, meaning that µ = 0. Source:

Why dipole moment is zero in non polar molecules non zero in polar molecules?

The dipole moment is zero in nonpolar molecules and non-zero in polar molecules due to electronegativity. Polar molecules have balanced electronegativity that will cancel one another out, while nonpolar molecules have unbalanced electronegativity causing dipole moments.

What compounds will have a dipole moment ch4 c2h6 xef4 sf6 ph3?

Out of the given compounds: CH4 (methane) is nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. C2H6 (ethane) is also nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. XeF4 (xenon tetrafluoride) is a polar molecule due to its square planar geometry with the fluorine atoms creating a net dipole moment. SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) is nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. PH3 (phosphine) is polar due to the lone pair on phosphorus creating a net dipole moment.

Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?

nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.


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.
