OF2 is a polar molecule because of it's bent shape.
Fluorine is slightly higher in electronegativity than Oxygen so electrons have a tendency to be in this area.
The bent shape means the electrons are shifted to one side and the molecule is polar.
Hope it helps
N2, OF2, and CH3OH exhibit only London dispersion forces. N2 is a nonpolar molecule, while OF2 and CH3OH have polar bonds but overall nonpolar structures which result in only London dispersion forces being present.
Oxygen difluoride (OF2) is a polar molecule. The molecule has a bent shape and the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than the fluorine atoms, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge and creating a dipole moment.
The most nonpolar of all the molecules you listed would be NH3. It is nonpolar because there is not a significant difference in the electronegativities of its atoms and the atoms are arranged in a symmetrical shape. CH3Cl is polar because the chlorine atom is more electronegative than the three hydrogen atoms. H2O is polar because the hydrogen atoms are less electronegative than the oxygen atom. The same applies to OF2, except in this case the fluorine atoms are more electronegative than oxygen. BeCl2is an ionic compound, not a molecule. Because of this, there is a VERY great difference in the electronegativity of the two atoms. Ionic compounds are NEVER nonpolar.
The molecule is nonpolar.
No, polar solutes are generally not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
