A Bent Molecule is a structure that consists of three atoms bonded so that one of the three serves as the vertex of an angle made by the three atoms. The angle formed will be non-linear, less than 1800. Bent structures will usually produce polar molecules if the bonded atoms have different electronegativity values.

Are molecules with two polar covalent bonds always polar molecules?

Not necessarily. A molecule with two polar covalent bonds may or may not be polar, depending on the overall molecular geometry and symmetry. If the polar bonds are symmetrically arranged and cancel each other out, the molecule could be nonpolar.


If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together they will form what?

If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together, they will not mix and will form separate layers due to their different polarities. This is because polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules, while nonpolar molecules are attracted to other nonpolar molecules.


Why does BF3 not mix with H2O?

Boron trifluoride (BF3) does not mix with water (H2O) because BF3 is a nonpolar molecule, whereas water is a polar molecule. Polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules due to their opposite charges, whereas nonpolar molecules are not attracted to polar molecules. This difference in polarity prevents the two substances from mixing.


Do polar molecules share electrons equally?

Nonpolar molecules are molecules that shares electrons equally and does not have oppositely charged ends. Polar molecules are molecules with a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end as a result of electrons being shared unequally.


Would a molecule with polar covalent bonds be soluble in water?

Yes, in chemistry polar molecules are soluble with other polar molecules. You know that water is polar because of it's structure. Two hydrogens are bonded the an oxygen. The oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that cause the molecule to have a bent VSEPR structure. This creates a net dipole due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. Essentially, the oxygen is slightly negative and the hydrogens slightly positive. So, yes your polar molecule is soluble with water (also polar).

Does a polar molecule have two positive sides?

Some molecules are quadrapolar, having two positives and two negatives. Most small polar molecules, like water, have one dominant positive side.

What two elements can you bond together to get a non polar covalent molecule?

two of the same element bonding together will give a non-polar covalent molecules. like any of the diatomic molecules, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, etc.

What molecules such as water have two opposite ends or poles like a magnet.?

polar molecule


Why is it that diatomic molecules always form non polar covalent?

They do not. Diatomic molecules containing two atoms of the same elemnt are non-polar, for example Cl2 . When the atoms are of different elents then the bond may be polar depending on the difference in electronegativity, example HCl.


Which bond type is formed between two polar molecules that contain hydrogen?

a hydrogen bond


What is covalent bonding if it is polar?

These are molecules having a significant difference for the electronegativities of the two atoms involved.
