Non-polar because Iodine is evenly 'distributed' or the molecule's angles are 180 degrees, and since there is equal pull from each iodine, and no lone pairs, the answer is nonpolar.

XeF3 polar or nonpolar?
The fluoride XeF3 is not known; the other xenon fluorides are nonpolar.
Is xenon pentafluoride ion polar or nonpolar?
It will be weakly polar as a neutral compound, due to the presence of 1 unshared pair of electrons around the central xenon atom. (Additionally, the relatively large number of electrons in this compound will yield temporary dipoles in the form of dispersion forces.) If it's an ion, then I would need to know its charge. If its charge is +2 (meaning it has lost 2 electrons,) then that ion would be non-polar.
Is xenon polar?
No, first xenon is an element, and so cannot be polar. Second, it is monatomic, and a single atom cannot be polar.
What are the substances that do not react easily?
While ionic compounds and polar molecules dissolve the best in water, nonpolar molecules do not. Example of a such nonpolar substance: oil. Oil forms clumps or beads in water because the nonpolar molescules are shoved together. Why? The water molecules are more attracted to each other than to the nonpolar molecules.
Is xenon ionic or covalent?
Xenon is neither of those, it's monatomic.
XeF3 polar or nonpolar?
The fluoride XeF3 is not known; the other xenon fluorides are nonpolar.
Is xenon tetrafluoride polar?
No. Carbon tetrafuoride is a non polar molecule but with polar covalents bonds. the polar covalent bonds sort of cancel each other out on each opposite side (because of it's symmetry) making it non polar overall. (CF4 is tetrahedral)

Is xenon dioxide ionic or covalent?
Xenon dioxide (XeO2) is covalent.
Is Sulfur and xenon form ionic compound or not?
Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.
Is Xenon hexafluoride a covalent or ionic compound?
Xenon is a noble gas in with the electrone of outermost orbit are balanced than the xenon cannot make ionic bond with another element such as Oxygen because if it make an ionic bond than the electron of the outer most orbit are unstable therefore it make an covalent bond with oxygen to fill the outer most unbalance electron of oxygen by sharing electron to form (xenon oxide) (xenon dioxide) and also with floride to form (xenon difloride) etc.
What is the Lewis structure for XeCl2?
Xenon dichloride - XeCl2 :LewisGeometryAnalysisThe geometry of XeCl2 is linear with a symmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is nonpolar.
Does xenon form ionic or covalent bonds?
Covalent. I had this same question and then found the answer! Hope this helps!
Is XeF2 covalent or ionic?
Well, Xe F4, has individual ionic bonds between the Xenon and flourines facing in opposite directions along with the lone pairs on Xe. This makes this species non-ionic. If you want a tip to check if you have an ionic compound, check if the electronegativity difference of the two atoms is greater than one. If it is greater than one you have an ionic species. However, this does not nessacarily determine if its is ionic or not. You must look at the directions of dipoles. If the dipole cancel out than it will be non-ionic. Such that in XeF4
