A molecule is polar is a result of differences in electronegativity; that is, one atom has a stronger pull on electrons than another. Flourine (F) is more electronegative than chlorine (Cl), and so tends to pull electrons to its side of the molecule. This makes FCl polar.

F2 consists of two atoms of fluorine, which are identical and thus have the same electronegativity. Therefore, the molecule is nonpolar.

What is the difference between LCL-LCL FCL-FCL and FCL-LCL?

LCL and FCL are terms used in overseas shipping of cargo. They can also be used to refer to shipments transported by train. LCL is "less than container load" and FCL is "full container load" in overseas shipping. When transporting by train, LCL is "less than car load" and FCL is "full car load." Cargo can be shipped LCL or FCL.

Is F2 classified as a polar covalent?

No, fluorine F2 is a homonuclear molecule so there is no difference in electronegativity. This means that fluorine is a nonpolar compound.

Does F2 have polar bonds?

Yes, F2 has polar bonds. Fluorine is more electronegative than other elements, so there is a significant difference in electronegativity between the two atoms in the bond, resulting in a polar covalent bond.


Arrange F2 F2- and F2 plus in order of decreasing stability?

F2 < F2- < F2+. This is because F2 has no extra electrons or missing electrons, while F2- has an extra electron making it more stable than F2. F2+ is the least stable as it has lost an electron, creating an electron deficiency.
