CClF3 is polar because it is asymmetrical. Imagine the central carbon atom inside a tetrahedrom with the base of 3 flourines and the top of a chlorine. Since the flourines are more electronegative than the chlorine (F is higher in the VIIA column than Cl), they will get the bigger share of the electrons, and Cl less. So the fluorine side is d- and the chlorine side d+. It is hard to draw on this, but this is my best:
Cl d+

Is artificial flavor polar or nonpolar?
Artificial flavors can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on their chemical structure. Some artificial flavors may have polar functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups), making them polar molecules, while others may have nonpolar structures, making them nonpolar molecules.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Polar bonds make a compound more soluble in polar solvents by facilitating interactions with the solvent molecules through dipole-dipole or hydrogen bonding. Nonpolar bonds make a compound more soluble in nonpolar solvents by reducing interactions with polar solvent molecules. Therefore, compounds with polar bonds are usually more soluble in polar solvents, while compounds with nonpolar bonds are more soluble in nonpolar solvents.
C2H2 polar or nonpolar?
C2H2 (Ethyne or Acetylene) is nonpolar because the molecule has a linear geometry with symmetric electronegativity, resulting in an equal distribution of charge and no net dipole moment.
Is paper polar or nonpolar?
Paper is nonpolar because it is mostly composed of cellulose, which is a nonpolar molecule. Nonpolar substances do not have a separation of charge, meaning they do not have a positive and negative end like polar molecules do.
Is CH2 polar or non polar?
CH2 does not exist as a molecule. There are, however, C2H2 and CH4, both of which are nonpolar.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Is SiF6 2- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?
It is nonpolar
Is triclosan polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is ICL4- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is sulfar trioxide polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
Is HBr polar or nonpolar?
Polar
Is PF3Cl2 polar or nonpolar?
polar
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
Is HAsCl4 polar or nonpolar?
The shape is trigonal bipyramidal and all the atoms on the outside are the same so the charges cancel eachother. Nonpolar
What does like disslove like mean?
Polar substances dissolve in polar liquids. Nonpolar substances dissovle in nonpolar liqiuds. (For more info on polar and nonpolar, refer to Chemistry)
