Do you mean BiCl3? Boron/iodine (BI) and bismuth (Bi) can make a big difference. Because boron has 3 valence electrons, it can only bond directly with three other elements. Iodine and chlorine both have 7 valence electrons, and once they have already bonded with something, there is no free space left. Thus, BICl3 is not a molecule. If you meant for the "BI" to represent bismuth, which has 5 valence electrons (still three free sides), it can still be bonded with the three chlorines since there is no longer any iodine. Capitalization matters, so do be careful. If you meant BiCl3, then it would be polar covalent. The chlorine is shared unequally by the bismuth because the electronegativity of chlorine is much higher than that of bismuth. The pull of the chlorine is described best as the following: (NOTE: The underscores are used to prevent shifting.)
Cl<-Bi->Cl
___ |
___ v
___Cl
Because the left/right pull will cancel each other out, the downward pull would cause the molecule to be polar. I hope this helps :)
Toothpaste is typically a mixture of polar and non-polar substances. The surfactants in toothpaste are usually polar, while other ingredients such as thickeners and abrasives can be non-polar.
A polar solute is expected to be soluble in a non-polar solvent. This is because "like dissolves like" – polar molecules tend to dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar molecules dissolve in non-polar solvents.
the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.
It is non polar. In amino acids, "polar" or "nonpolar" refers specifically to the side chain; the molecule as a whole is definitely polar, but leucine's side chain is a hydrocarbon with no polar groups.
C10H8 (naphthalene) is nonpolar because it consists of only carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have similar electronegativities. As a result, the molecule does not have any significant dipole moment and is considered nonpolar.
non-polar
It is non polar.
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
ClO4 is polar.
Nonpolar
It is non-polar, covalent.
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
It is non-polar
oil is non polar molecule
polar
it was my homework then i guessed then my answer came it was non-polar
Bromine is non-polar.
