∙ 11y agoPolar And NonPolar
Chemists measure the degree of polarization of a bond in percent ionic character, and you can determine this value from the difference in electronegativity of two atoms. For example, water contains the bond O-H between oxygen and hydrogen. The electronegativity of O is 3.5 and H is 2.1, so they differ by 1.4. On a chart of ionic character, you will find this bond is 39 percent ionic, thus a compound containing O-H will be quite polar. The ionic character of a carbon-hydrogen bond is only 4 percent, so a compound containing only C-H would be nonpolar.

∙ 9y agoA molecule becomes polar when the elements form polar bonds--bonds with a slight negative and a slight positive charge--that are uneven due to the structure of the molecule. The structure prevents the dipoles from cancelling out, which gives the molecule a net dipole and makes it polar.

(For apex)
It’s the one with the polar negative and positive
(I just took the test)

How do you use shapes to predict molecular polarity?
if molecular shape is symmatrical then its non-polar but if it is non symmatrical then its polar.
What type of interactions hold the molecules tpgether in a polar molecular solid?
In polar molecular solids' molecules are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
What type of bond does P4 have?
non-polar covalent
What is the molecular polarity of CH4?
H2O is polar because oxygen has a higher electronegativity
Is the molecular compound SCN polar or non polar?
The difference in electronegativity between S and N is only .5, so it's slightly polar. However, it's not very polar.
What part of waters molecular structure makes it polar?
Its V-shaped bond angle makes it polar. Oxygen is at the point of the V and has a slightly negative charge.
Why is carbontetrachloride considered a non-polar molecule when it contains polar bonds?
The molecular shape of carbon tetrachloride is a tetrahedron, which negates the polarity of individual bonds, and makes the molecule non-polar.
How do you use shapes to predict molecular polarity?
if molecular shape is symmatrical then its non-polar but if it is non symmatrical then its polar.
Is CC a polar covalent bond?
It is Covalent Molecular bond but it is non polar. It shares 4 bond between each other which makes it symmetrical, and also it has no non bonding pairs.
Is sncl2 polar or nonpolar?
Due to its molecular geometry, which is bent, SnCl2 is POLAR!
Are molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen polar and why?
well of course my dear whatson because the great banana god has for spoken it
What type of interactions hold the molecules tpgether in a polar molecular solid?
In polar molecular solids' molecules are held together by relatively stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
Is sulfur dioxide polar or non polar?
Polar, the molecular structure of SO2 is basically identical with that of water. Both are polar due to the angle between the bonds.
Is HBr a molecular or an Ionic?
Molecular
Is the NH3 polar or non-polar?
NH3(ammonia) is a polar molecule. The molecular structure is trigonal pyramidal, which makes the nitrogen stick out from the hydrogen. This causes H2O(also polar) to attract itself to the ammonia, hydrogen with nitrogen and oxygen with hydrogen. This attraction, called hydrogen bonding, gives NH3 its water-soluble property.
Why spoons are never made with ionic or polar molecular?
they will be brittle
What type of bond does P4 have?
non-polar covalent
