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

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 3

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 4

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

Answer 5

Hydrogen cyanide has a polar molecule.

Answer 6

Yes, HCN is polar

Answer 7

yes. HCNO is polar

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

polar

Answer 10

Yes, CN-.
