Which molecule has polar bonding and is nonpolar?

Answer 1

There are many; a common example is methane (CH4). The C-H bond is polar because of electronegativity difference, but the molecule is non-polar because it's symmetric across every axis, which means no difference in charge across any length of the molecule.

Answer 2

Several molecules fit this description. The criterion is that the molecule needs to be symmetrical. A simple example is tetrachloromethane, where the four C - Cl bonds are all polar, but because they are arranged in a regular tetrahedron, the effects cancel out.

Answer 3

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has polar covalent bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and chlorine, but the molecule itself is nonpolar because of its symmetrical tetrahedral shape that results in a cancellation of the dipole moments.
