It is non polar. The central Xe atom has 4 Fluorine atoms and two electron pairs attached giving it AB4E2 molecular structure. This leads to a square planar molecular shape. F is more electronegative than Xe and is thus a polar covalent bond, but the 4 bonds in a square cancel out, and the electron pair on top and bottom of the "square plane" cancel each-other out as well, leaving you with a non polar molecule
Yes, XeF4 has a dipole moment. Although the individual Xe-F bonds are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between xenon and fluorine, the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because of its symmetrical square planar geometry that cancels out the dipole moments of the individual bonds.
Yes, XeF4 is a polar molecule. Although it has a symmetrical square planar shape, the individual bond dipoles created by the polar Xe-F bonds do not cancel each other out, resulting in a net dipole moment.
The molecule is nonpolar.
No, polar solutes are generally not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
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.
Xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) primarily exhibits London dispersion forces due to its nonpolar nature, despite having polar bonds between xenon and fluorine. These forces arise from temporary dipoles created by fluctuations in electron distribution. Additionally, there may be some dipole-dipole interactions due to the polar Xe-F bonds, but the molecule's overall symmetry makes it nonpolar, limiting these interactions. Thus, the dominant intermolecular forces in XeF4 are London dispersion forces.
No. Carbon tetrafuoride is a non polar molecule but with polar covalents bonds. the polar covalent bonds sort of cancel each other out on each opposite side (because of it's symmetry) making it non polar overall. (CF4 is tetrahedral)
Yes, XeF4 has a dipole moment. Although the individual Xe-F bonds are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between xenon and fluorine, the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because of its symmetrical square planar geometry that cancels out the dipole moments of the individual bonds.
Nonpolar
Out of the given compounds: CH4 (methane) is nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. C2H6 (ethane) is also nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. XeF4 (xenon tetrafluoride) is a polar molecule due to its square planar geometry with the fluorine atoms creating a net dipole moment. SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) is nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. PH3 (phosphine) is polar due to the lone pair on phosphorus creating a net dipole moment.

nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
