Is carbon monoxide polar or non-polar?

Answer 1

Since polar molecules have a difference of electronegativity of 0.5-1.7 and non-polar molecules have between 0-0.5, with nitrogen monoxide having a difference right in between, the moloecule can be considered a non polar or polar molecule. But if considered a polar molecule it must be noted that the unequal distribution of electrons is extremely slight.

Answer 2

Nitric oxide is polar. This is because oxygen has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen, so the two atoms pull each other unequally and give the ends of the molecule a charge, which makes it a dipole.

Answer 3

Carbon monoxide is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen atoms. The oxygen atom is more electronegative, leading to a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partial positive charge on the carbon atom.

Answer 4

it is polar because there is electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen

Answer 5

It is an ionic compound so it is polar.

Answer 6

Nitrous oxide has a polar molecule.

Answer 7

Polar.
