Its V-shaped bond angle makes it polar. Oxygen is at the point of the V and has a slightly negative charge.

Is sulfur dioxide polar or non polar?
Polar, the molecular structure of SO2 is basically identical with that of water. Both are polar due to the angle between the bonds.
Is the NH3 polar or non-polar?
NH3(ammonia) is a polar molecule. The molecular structure is trigonal pyramidal, which makes the nitrogen stick out from the hydrogen. This causes H2O(also polar) to attract itself to the ammonia, hydrogen with nitrogen and oxygen with hydrogen. This attraction, called hydrogen bonding, gives NH3 its water-soluble property.
Is SeH4 polar or non polar?
It is polar. It has a lone pair of electrons and it's molecular geometry is seesaw.
Why is the intermolecular force of C2h6 London forces?
When you draw the molecular structure, the structure is in fact symmetrical. When the structure is symmetrical it is non-polar therefore the forces are said to be 'london forces'/ dispersion forces.
Is salicylic acid polar or non-polar?
Oxalic acid is a non-polar molecule due to its molecular structure.
Is sulfur dioxide polar or non polar?
Polar, the molecular structure of SO2 is basically identical with that of water. Both are polar due to the angle between the bonds.
What makes hydrogen peroxide a polar molecule?
polar bonds and asymmetrical structure
Is the NH3 polar or non-polar?
NH3(ammonia) is a polar molecule. The molecular structure is trigonal pyramidal, which makes the nitrogen stick out from the hydrogen. This causes H2O(also polar) to attract itself to the ammonia, hydrogen with nitrogen and oxygen with hydrogen. This attraction, called hydrogen bonding, gives NH3 its water-soluble property.
Is SeH4 polar or non polar?
It is polar. It has a lone pair of electrons and it's molecular geometry is seesaw.
Is NH3 plar?
NH3 is the molecular formula for ammonia, and each N-H bond is polar, and the 3-D structure of the molecule makes the molecule polar. NH3 molecules will form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Refer to the related links for an illustration of the ammonia molecule.
Why is the intermolecular force of C2h6 London forces?
When you draw the molecular structure, the structure is in fact symmetrical. When the structure is symmetrical it is non-polar therefore the forces are said to be 'london forces'/ dispersion forces.
Why is carbontetrachloride considered a non-polar molecule when it contains polar bonds?
The molecular shape of carbon tetrachloride is a tetrahedron, which negates the polarity of individual bonds, and makes the molecule non-polar.
Is salicylic acid polar or non-polar?
Oxalic acid is a non-polar molecule due to its molecular structure.
How do you use shapes to predict molecular polarity?
if molecular shape is symmatrical then its non-polar but if it is non symmatrical then its polar.
What Type of organic compounds that has a non polar molecular structure and dissolves in fats and oils?
Most fecal matter will, depending on what you ate the night before.
Is CC a polar covalent bond?
It is Covalent Molecular bond but it is non polar. It shares 4 bond between each other which makes it symmetrical, and also it has no non bonding pairs.
What is waters Waters characteristics shaped due to?
polar covalent bonding
