Is cyanic acid polar or non polar?

Answer 1

Ions are strictly polar; they cannot be nonpolar. Dipoles do not apply to electrically charged molecules. Therefore NO3-, despite being structured neutrally (and to the inexperienced seem neutral), is really polar due to the sole fact that it is an ion.

Answer 2

Cyanic acid is a polar molecule because it contains polar covalent bonds due to differences in electronegativity between carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. This results in an uneven distribution of electron density, making it polar overall.

Answer 3

Yes. Cyanide is the CN- atom, and nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon, so the molecule is polar with the negative "charge" on the nitrogen atom.

Answer 4

It isn't an element. So: not metal , not non metal! It is an anion from the weak acid hydrogen cyanide (HCN, World War II toxic gas: ZyclonB)

Answer 5

Yea, cyanide or CN is a polyatomic ion with a minus one charge.

Answer 6

Hydrogen cyanide has a polar molecule.

Answer 7

Yes, HCN is polar

Answer 8

yes. HCNO is polar

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

polar
