To determine polarity first you check the polarity then the molecular geometry.

CCl, is polar because of the difference in electronegativity between C and Cl and is polar

However, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), is planar, so the electrons are evenly distributed and the molecule is nonpolar

Is co2 polar covalent non polar covalent or ionic bond?

CO2 has a polar covalent bond because there is a significant difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen, causing a partial negative charge on oxygen atoms and a partial positive charge on the carbon atom.

Is CO a ionic polar covalent or non polar covalent bond?

It is a non-polar covalent bond. O - C - O The oxygen atoms have a delta- charge, and the carbon a delta+ charge. Because the negative charges pull the electron cloud into different directions, it has no side which is more electronegative than the other. Therefore it is a non-polar covalent bond.


What type of bond ionic or molecular and polar or non polar is sodium iodide and carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas?

Sodium iodide has ionic bonds, which are always polar. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas both have molecular (covalent) bonds; the ones in carbon dioxide are polar and those in elemental hydrogen molecules (H2) are nonpolar.


Is Br2 an ionic or covalent?
