No. Hydrogen fluoride is rotationally symmetrical around an axis along the center of its single, very polar bond. However, if a molecule has mirror symmetry in a hypothetical mirror through and perpendicular to its only bond, the bond is nonpolar because the two atoms bonded are atoms of the same element

Is carbon tetrachloride a symmetrical molecule?
The bond in carbon tetrachloride are polar covalent, but the CCl4 molecule a a whole is nonpolar due to the symmetrical arrangement oft he bonds.
What determines if a molecule is polar nonpolar or ionic?
The two factors are 1) the polarity of the bonds between the atoms in the molecule, and 2) the shape of the molecule. Basically, if the bonds are non-polar, the molecule is. If the bonds are polar, but the molecule is in such a shape that they cancel each other, the molecule is non-polar. If the bonds are polar and the molecule's shape doesn't cause them to cancel, the molecule is polar.
Is CCl4 polar or non pollar?
No. The individual bonds are polar, but the molecule as a whole is symmetric and therefore nonpolar.
Are CH4 bonds nonpolar?
No,bonds are polar.But molecule is non polar.
Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of a nonpolar molecule.?
true
What determines if a molecule is polar or non polar?
if the molecule is symmetrical, then it is nonpolar. if it is NOT symmetrical, it is polar. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal.

Is C2H4 a polar or nonpolar?
The shape of molecule is two symmetrical triangle. Electronegativities of C and H are different, therefore C - H bonds polar, but C = C bond is nonpolar. Since the molecule is symmetrical there is an even charge distribution, and hence the molecule is nonpolar.
Is CCl4 polar or non pollar?
No. The individual bonds are polar, but the molecule as a whole is symmetric and therefore nonpolar.
Are CH4 bonds nonpolar?
No,bonds are polar.But molecule is non polar.
How can a molecule nonpolar overall and still contain polar bonds?
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.
Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of a nonpolar molecule.?
true
Can a nonpolar molecule have polar bonds within it?
Yes it can
Is ScCl4 polar?
No. -also tetrahedral shape and it's Hybridization is Sp3
How can the shape of a molecule determine its polarty?
A symmetrical molecule cancels out the effects of polar bonds
What types of bonds may be present in a nonpolar molecule?
A polar bond may be present in a nonpolar molecule. Examples: CH4, NH3, C2H2, CO2
