The two factors are 1) the polarity of the bonds between the atoms in the molecule, and 2) the shape of the molecule.
Basically, if the bonds are non-polar, the molecule is. If the bonds are polar, but the molecule is in such a shape that they cancel each other, the molecule is non-polar. If the bonds are polar and the molecule's shape doesn't cause them to cancel, the molecule is polar.
Phenyl salicylate has covalent bonds, which are typically nonpolar. The molecule is symmetrical and contains nonpolar functional groups, making it nonpolar overall.
The molecule is nonpolar.
Methyl is a nonpolar molecule.
You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.
ASCl3 is a polar molecule.
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.
Yes, hydrophilic is a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar. Hydrophilic molecules are polar, while hydrophobic molecules are nonpolar.
Phenyl salicylate has covalent bonds, which are typically nonpolar. The molecule is symmetrical and contains nonpolar functional groups, making it nonpolar overall.
The molecule is nonpolar.
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
