Decide whether each molecule or polyatomic ion is polar or nonpolar. If the molecule or polyatomic ion is polar, write the chemical symbol of the atom closest to the negative side. For example, if the molecule were HCI and you decided the hydrogen atom was closest to the negative side of the molecule, you'd enter ":" in the last column of the table. alo H molecule or polyatomic ion polar or nonpolar? atom closest to negative side O polar O nonpolar HI O polar O nonpolar H,S O polar CH, O nonpolar

Following is a molecule with polar bonds whose shape was obtained using the VSEPR theory. Specify the molecular shape of this molecule, and whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. (Hint: In terms of polarity, see whether the dipoles in the molecule cancel or not. A molecule containing polar bonds can be nanpolar if the dipoles cancel each other. You can imagine the dipoles as ropes pulling on the central atom–If the pulls cancel each other, that is, the central atom cannot move, then the molecule is nonpolar. If on the other hand the opposite is true, then the molecule is polar.)

Which statement describes the type of bond that would form between phosphorous and chlorine? * Phosphorous and Chlorine would form an ionic bond because one atom is much m electronegative than the other atom. Phosphorous and Chlorine would form a covalent bond because they have similar electror gativity. Phosphorous and Chlorine would form an ionic bond because they have similar electronegativity. Phosphorous and Chlorine would form a covalent bond because one atom is muc more electronegative than the other atom. A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
