A tetrahedral molecule with the central atom bonded to four other atoms or molecules that are the same will always be non-polar because the electronegativities of the four bonds cancel each other out. Other molecular shapes that will follow this rule would be linear, trigonal planar, pyramidal, and octahedral. There are a few other molecules that are non-polar but these are the most common

Is CHF3 polar or non-polar?
Yes it is and it has a tetrahedral shape
Is POOH'S polar or non polar?
The geometry of PO(OH)3 is tetrahedral with an unsymmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is polar.
Which of these molecules is polar?
Which of these molecules is polar
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
What do dipole dipole forces do?
Hold polar molecules together
Is SO2Cl2 polar or nonpolar?
Yes, So2Cl2 is polar. It can be seen in its tetrahedral geometry that its molecules are not directly opposite one another, so they can have dipole moments.
Is CHF3 polar or non-polar?
Yes it is and it has a tetrahedral shape
CH4O polar or nonpolar?
It is has polar bonds.They are polar covalent
Is ph4 a dipole?
No it's not. It is non-polar since it has a geometrical shape of a tetrahedral. Tetrahedral geometries are symmetrical, so even if P-H is polar bond, they get cancelled out resulting in a non-polar molecule
Is gas polar?
Some gases have polar molecules as HCl, HBr, SO2, but not all gases have polar molecules.
Is POOH'S polar or non polar?
The geometry of PO(OH)3 is tetrahedral with an unsymmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is polar.
Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?
Non-polar molecules are more attracted to other non-polar molecules.
Which of these molecules is polar?
Which of these molecules is polar
Is the molecule Cl2C equals CCl2 polar or non polar?
CCl4 is a non polar molecule because though each of the C-Cl bond is polar but the resultant of all these dipole moments is zero as its a symmetrical tetrahedral shape molecule ,and their is a cancellation of dipole moment in each pair
What is the geometric shape of nitrogen molecules and phosphorus molecules having four bonds?
tetrahedral
Is BrO2 1- sp3 orbital tetrahedral bent and polar?
The BrO2 1- sp3 orbital tetrahedral is known to be polar. It is part of the polarity of neutral species arrangement and in the group of linear trigonal.
Polar molecules behave as though they?
Polar molecules have charges that non-polar molecules do not have. It is the reason why non-polar molecules can move through the lipid bilayer quicker than the polar molecules.
