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.


What condition must be met if a molecule having polar bonds is to be non polar?

Yes a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it.if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar


Is corbon dioxide polar or non-polar?

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