Non-polar because Iodine is evenly 'distributed' or the molecule's angles are 180 degrees, and since there is equal pull from each iodine, and no lone pairs, the answer is nonpolar.

Is xe polar or nonpolar?

Xe (xenon) is a noble gas and is nonpolar because it has a symmetrical electron distribution around the central xenon atom, resulting in no net dipole moment.


Is xenon polar?

No, first xenon is an element, and so cannot be polar. Second, it is monatomic, and a single atom cannot be polar.


Is xenon tetrafluoride polar?

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)


XeF3 polar or nonpolar?

The fluoride XeF3 is not known; the other xenon fluorides are nonpolar.


Is xenon pentafluoride ion polar or nonpolar?

It will be weakly polar as a neutral compound, due to the presence of 1 unshared pair of electrons around the central xenon atom. (Additionally, the relatively large number of electrons in this compound will yield temporary dipoles in the form of dispersion forces.) If it's an ion, then I would need to know its charge. If its charge is +2 (meaning it has lost 2 electrons,) then that ion would be non-polar.


Does Chlorine and xenon form a ionic compound?

No, chlorine and xenon do not form an ionic compound. Xenon is a noble gas and does not readily form ionic bonds with other elements.


What is the standard ionic notation for xenon?

The standard ionic notation for xenon is Xe^{2+}. Xenon typically forms a cation with a +2 charge by losing two electrons.


Is XeF4 a polar or nonpolar?

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


Is XeF5 nonpolar?

XeF5+


What is the ionic radius for xenon?

The ionic radius of xenon is not commonly reported as it is a noble gas and typically does not form ions in chemical compounds. Xenon tends to exist in its elemental form as a monatomic gas.


What is the intermolecular forces of xef4?

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.


Is Xenon hexafluoride a covalent or ionic compound?

Xenon is a noble gas in with the electrone of outermost orbit are balanced than the xenon cannot make ionic bond with another element such as Oxygen because if it make an ionic bond than the electron of the outer most orbit are unstable therefore it make an covalent bond with oxygen to fill the outer most unbalance electron of oxygen by sharing electron to form (xenon oxide) (xenon dioxide) and also with floride to form (xenon difloride) etc.
