No, take for example hydrochloric acid (HCl). Because the two atoms are in a covalent bond and have different electronegativities, the chlorine atom is slightly negative and the hydrogen positive respectively.

Therefore, one end of the linear molecule (because two atoms are always linear) is slightly negative, and the other is slightly positive, making it a polar molecule.

Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.


What do nonpolar molecule have?

Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.


Can nonpolar molecules cross the lipid bilayer?

Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.

Nonpolar


Why is it that diatomic molecules always form nonpolar covalent bonds?

Diatomic molecules have the same electronegativity, leading to equal sharing of electrons and a symmetric distribution of charge around the molecule. This balanced sharing results in nonpolar covalent bonds.

Substance A is a Molecular compound that dissolves in gasoline but not water. The molecules of A are very likely....what?

Nonpolar. Molecules that dissolve in nonpolar solvents like gasoline tend to be nonpolar themselves, as nonpolar substances are attracted to each other through London dispersion forces. Water, being a polar solvent, is not able to dissolve nonpolar molecules as effectively.

Molecules that are insoluble in water or do not readily interact with water are said to be?

Hydrophobic. These molecules tend to be nonpolar or have a nonpolar region, which makes them poorly soluble in water. Instead, they often interact with other nonpolar molecules.


Are HF and CO2 linear and therefore polar?

Yes, HF and CO2 are linear molecules. HF is polar due to the unequal distribution of electrons between hydrogen and fluorine causing a net dipole moment. CO2 is nonpolar despite being linear because the polar bonds cancel out due to the symmetry of the molecule.
