Carbon and fluorine form a polar covalent bond due to the significant difference in their electronegativities. Fluorine is highly electronegative, meaning it attracts shared electrons more strongly than carbon, resulting in a partial negative charge on the fluorine atom and a partial positive charge on the carbon atom. This dipole moment makes the bond between carbon and fluorine polar. However, the overall polarity of a molecule containing carbon and fluorine will depend on its molecular geometry.
Bonds between carbon and hydrogen are non-polar.
No, polar molecules do not always contain carbon. Polar molecules are characterized by having an uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a dipole moment, which can occur in various compounds regardless of their elemental composition. Common examples of polar molecules include water (H₂O) and ammonia (NH₃), both of which do not contain carbon. Therefore, while many organic polar molecules do contain carbon, it is not a requirement for a molecule to be polar.
carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide has a polar covalent bond.
n-Hexene is considered a polar molecule due to the presence of the carbon-carbon double bond. The asymmetric distribution of electrons around the double bond creates a small dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

Carbon monoxide has a polar molecule.
The CO bond in carbon monoxide is polar.
Carbon disulfide is non-polar because the electronegativity difference between carbon and sulfur is very small, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of electrons and no overall dipole moment.
The most polar bond would be between carbon and fluorine. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, creating a large electronegativity difference with carbon and resulting in a highly polar bond.
No, CH3CN (acetonitrile) is a polar molecule. The carbon-nitrogen bond is polar due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and nitrogen. This creates a slight positive charge on carbon and a slight negative charge on nitrogen, resulting in a polar molecule.
it is polar (inorganic) molecule
Carbon dioxide
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is considered nonpolar because it has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape with four identical covalent bonds between carbon and chlorine atoms. The electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine is not significant enough to create a polar molecule.
HCFCs are 'Hydrochlorofluorocarbons. They are one of the many contributors to ozone depletion.
