First of all you have to draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical, it's non-polar. If the molecule is non-symmetrical or asymmetrical, then the molecule is polar.
Now it is considered by most scientists that the universe is asymmetrical.
No, many linear molecules are nonpolar. A polar substance often has a bent or otherwise asymmetrical structure.
Drumlin is an Irish word for streamlined asymmetrical hills composed of till.
yes.
AsH3 is a polar molecule because it is asymmetrical.
It is polar because it is asymmetrical
polar bonds and asymmetrical structure
H3O+- polar,asymmetrical (hydronium cation) PCl5 - polar asymmetrical (phosphorus pentachloride) H2S - polar, symmetrical (hydrogen sulfide) CF4 - polar symmetrical (carbon tetrafluoride)
It is a polar molecule because it is asymmetrical and has a negative pole and a positive pole.
Because the VSEPR Diagram shows that it is asymmetrical.
CH3CHF2 is polar. If you draw the structure of the compound, you'll realize one C has 3 H ligands while the other C has 1 H ligand and 2 F ligands. As we know, polar=asymmetrical. Therefore, since both "tetrahedrals" are different, it is asymmetrical.
Acetic acid is polar because it is asymmetrical meaning that dipole moment does not get cancel.
Think of the sulfite ion as a molecule with its geometry and dipole moment AND a net charge. The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal and because of its asymmetrical shape and polar bonds, sulfite has a net dipole moment (2.04D ). The ion is polar.
All straight molecules are nonpolar, so water would by default be nonpolar.
AnswerPolar. Its geometry is bent, as it has one lone pair (nonbonding domain) and two bonding domains. It has an asymmetrical distribution of charge. However, it is not very polar as the electronegativities of sulfur and oxygen are similar.
http://actachemscand.dk/pdf/acta_vol_13_p0190-0191.pdf The file above indicates that POCl3 has a dipole moment and hence will be polar. The O atom is more electronegative than Cl (by only a little bit), and will have more electron density than the Cl atom, hence the polar nature. Is it very polar in nature, not really, but it is polar.
