Si will have two bonds to the two Hydrogens, and a double bond to the Oxygen. The Oxygen will have two pairs of unpaired valence electrons.

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.


Can a molecule be non-polar overall but still contain a polar bonds?

yes


Name a non-polar covalent molecule having polar bonds?

carbon dioxide


Will A molecule with polar covalent bonds will definitely be a polar molecule?

not necessarily. if the individual dipoles cancel off, then the molecule will be non-polar. As in CCl4, PCl5 etc


What is the diffirence between ionic and covalent bonds?

ionic bonds are metal/non-metal while covalent bonds are non-metal/non-metal ionic bonds involve donating of electrons from one molecule to the other, whereas covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between the 2 molecules.


Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?

It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms


Why is aluminium trichloride molecule non polar but the bonds in it are polar?

Because of the geometry/symmetry of the molecule. The three Cl atoms are arranged in such a way that the charge distribution is equal, thus making the molecule non polar.


Why a tetrahedral molecule containing four identical bonds can never be a polar molecule?

A tetrahedral molecule with identical bonds is perfectly symmetrical, with the bond dipoles canceling each other out, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. This symmetry causes the molecule to be nonpolar.


Does CS2 have any polar bonds?

Yes, a CS2 molecules contains two double covalent bonds.


What determines if a molecule is polar or non polar?

if the molecule is symmetrical, then it is nonpolar. if it is NOT symmetrical, it is polar. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal.


Is corbon dioxide polar or non-polar?

Carbon dioxide is a non-polar molecule containing polar covalent bonds in its atoms.


Is perc polar or non polar?

Perchloroethylene (perc) is a non-polar molecule due to its symmetrical structure and lack of polar bonds.
