A non-polar molecule. Bond dipoles tend to cancel each other out in the more symmetric molecules.

What is the light-absorbing molecule?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
How can a molecule be nonpolar overall and still contain polar bands?
Yes, a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it. if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar.
How many polar covalent bonds does the Lewis dot structure of CH4 contain?
The bonds between each C-H are slightly polar, I think. However, the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because of the molecule's tetrahedral position (the Hs surround the C symmetrically and with 90 degree angles between each H)
Is h2s a polar molecule?
Yes and no. The difference in electronegativities of hydrogen (2.2) and sulfur(2.6) is exactly the same as that between hydrogen and carbon(2.6). The C-H bond is viewed as non-polar and so, therefore, should the H-S bond. However, due to the fact that there IS a difference in electronegativities, there is a small degree of ionic character (polarity) in both bonds. The boiling point of hydrogen sulfide (213K) strongly suggests the molecule be deemed non-polar, despite what some sources say.
Will salt and sugar dissolve in petrol?
Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.

Does a rectangle have rotation symmetry?
It has rotational symmetry of degree 2 or, if it happens to be a square, of degree 4.

Can a quadrilateral that has rotational symmetry have no reflectional symmetry?
Yes. A rhombus has a 180 degree rotational symmetry but no reflection symmetry.

Have rectangle got rotation?
If you mean "Does it have a rotational symmetry", the answer is "Yes." there is a 180 degree rotational symmetry.
