not necessarily. if the individual dipoles cancel off, then the molecule will be non-polar. As in CCl4, PCl5 etc

Is HCN nonpolar covalent bond?

This molecule contains polar covalent bonds.


The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule are classified as?

The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule are classified as polar covalent bonds. In a polar covalent bond, electrons are shared between the atoms but are not shared equally, leading to a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom and a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atoms.


Are all compounds with polar covalent bonds are polar molecules?

No, not all compounds with polar covalent bonds are polar molecules. Whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar depends on its overall symmetry and the arrangement of its polar bonds within the molecule. In some cases, the polarities of individual bonds may cancel out, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.


Name a non-polar covalent molecule having polar bonds?

carbon dioxide


Are molecules with two polar covalent bonds always polar molecules?

Not necessarily. A molecule with two polar covalent bonds may or may not be polar, depending on the overall molecular geometry and symmetry. If the polar bonds are symmetrically arranged and cancel each other out, the molecule could be nonpolar.


Which substance has polar covalent bonds SO2 Cl2 N2 or CaO?

SO2 is the substance that has polar covalent bonds. This is because sulfur and oxygen have different electronegativities, resulting in an uneven sharing of electrons in the covalent bonds within the molecule.


Is Fe2O3 polar or nonpolar?

Fe2O3 (iron oxide) is a nonpolar molecule because it has a symmetrical arrangement of its polar covalent bonds. The dipole moments in these bonds cancel each other out, resulting in a nonpolar overall molecule.


What types of chemical bonds are found in a tetrodotoxin molecule and describe the structure of these chemical bonds?

Tetrodotoxin contains both covalent and polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between atoms sharing electrons, holding the molecule together. Polar covalent bonds have unequal sharing of electrons, creating partial positive and negative charges within the molecule, contributing to its overall structure and properties.


Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?

It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms


Is bcl3 ionic nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?

BCl3 is a polar covalent molecule. Although the bonds between boron and chlorine are covalent, the molecule itself is polar due to the uneven distribution of electrons caused by the higher electronegativity of chlorine atoms.
