Answer
Polar. Its geometry is bent, as it has one lone pair (nonbonding domain) and two bonding domains. It has an asymmetrical distribution of charge. However, it is not very polar as the electronegativities of sulfur and oxygen are similar.
The sulfate ion (SO4 2-) is a symmetrical molecule, with a tetrahedral arrangement of atoms around the sulfur. This symmetry cancels out the dipole moments of the individual bonds, resulting in a nonpolar molecule overall.
SO2 has polar covalent bonds due to differences in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen atoms. Cl2, CaO, and N2 have nonpolar covalent bonds because the atoms have similar electronegativities.
No, a phosphate group is polar due to the presence of electronegative oxygen atoms. It contains both polar and nonpolar characteristics because of its negative charge and the nonpolar hydrophobic tails in biological molecules it can interact with.
No, silicon dioxide forms a network covalent structure, and so doesn't dissolve in anything:
P4: Nonpolar covalent bonds. H2S: Polar covalent bonds. NO2: Polar covalent bonds. S2Cl2: Nonpolar covalent bonds.
What is the electronegativity and hardness of SO3
nonpolar
Yes
Covalent
Nonpolar
SO3 is a non polar molecule. Although the bonds between the S and O atoms are polar because S is more electronegative than O hence creating an electronegativity difference, the molecule is non polar. This is because the negative and positive centres are both loacted in the same place (at the S molecule) as they are all on the same plane and therefore there is no permanant dipole as the dipoles in the bond cancel each other out, therefore the molecule is non polar.

The sulfate ion (SO4 2-) is a symmetrical molecule, with a tetrahedral arrangement of atoms around the sulfur. This symmetry cancels out the dipole moments of the individual bonds, resulting in a nonpolar molecule overall.
It is a nonpolar compound because their electronegativity differences are not big and therefore rendering them nonpolar. Also the only intermolecular force evident in SO3 is the London force meaning that it is only nonpolar.
