In the linear configuration, the bond dipoles cancel. Thus, the configurations of molecules with a bond dipole must be tetrahedral and linear respectively.

Is H2O a formula that represents a nonpolar molecule?
No, H2O is a very polar molecule
H2o is an example of what?
H2O is a molecular formula, since it shows the actual number of each atom in the molecule, and it is also an empirical formula since it shows the atoms in their simplest ratio (2 to 1). In this case the, the molecular formula and the empirical formula are the same.It is not, however, a structural formula, which would show the actual arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. The structural formula for water is HOH which shows the molecule as an H+ radical bonded to an OH- radical.
What line drawing represents the molecule with the formula C6H14?
Molecular bonding or bond linkage
What is the difference between a structural formula and a molecular model?
A chemical formula is the number of atoms in a substance, and is the same as a molecular formula (provided the substance is a molecule - if not, it has no molecular formula). A structural formula shows how the atoms are linked, and there are different interpretations of this: eg C3H8O2 is the chemical formula of 1,2 propan di-ol, which is the same as the chemical formula of 1,1 propan di-ol the structural formula however is CH2OHCHOHCH3 for 1,2 propan di-ol and CH(OH)2CH2CH3 for 1,1 propan di-ol. A displayed formula shows all the bonds: ........H..OH...H.............O-H...H...H ........|....|.....|..................|....|.....| ....H-C.-.C.-.C.-.H.....H-O-C.-.C.-.C.-.H ........|....|.....|..................|....|.....| ....H-O...H....H.................H...H....H 1,2 propan di-ol........1,1 propan di-ol ---------------------------------- Some chemicals, such as table salt, have no molecule. Thus, they only have chemical formula but not molecular formula. The chemical formula of table salt is NaCl. There are other salts, such as Na2SO4, MgSO4, etc. (If you hear people saying "the salt molecule has the formula of NaCl...", believe me, they do not know what they are talking about.) Some compounds exist as molecules- discrete entities, such as water. This kind of compounds have molecular formula. Water's is H2O. Structural formula? Never heard of.
Does a molecular formula show the types and numbers of atoms present in a molecule of a compound?
Yes, structural formulae show how the atoms in a compound are arranged. For example, CH3CH2CH2CH3 is the structural formula for butane. Unlike the displayed formula, it does not show the individual bonds that are formed.
Is H2O a formula that represents a nonpolar molecule?
No, H2O is a very polar molecule
What is the difference between a chemical formulamolecular formula and a structural formula?
A structural formula represents the molecule graphically, whereas the other does not.
Is NaCL a formula that represents a nonpolar molecule?
No its ionic because its a metal and nonmetal combined
Which formula represents a nonpolar molecule?
H-H
What does structural formula show about a molecule of a compound?
The structural formula show the spatial aspect of the molecule.
What does a structural formula shows about a molecule of a compound?
The structural formula show the spatial aspect of the molecule.
What is the structural formula ROH?
The structural formula ROH represents an alcohol molecule, where R represents an alkyl group and OH represents a hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the carbon atom in the alkyl group (R), indicating the presence of an alcohol functional group.
What is the difference between structural and condensed formula?
The structural formula show the position of atoms in a molecule.
What is the structural formula of a butanol molecule?
Assuming you want the structural formula of 'Butan-1-ol' it is CH3CH3CH3CH2OH
What is the advantage of using a structural formula over a molecular formula?
A molecular formula indicates the numbers of atoms of each element in the molecule, but a structural formula also indicates the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. For example, H2O is the molecular formula for water, but H-O-H is the structural formula, showing how the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are arranged in the molecule.
What formula represents a molecule?
NH3
The formula shows how atoms are arranged within a molecule or ion?
A structural formula
