Is this molecule polar? If yes, consider which side of the molecule has partial negative
charge and which - partial positive. Then, indicate the direction of the dipole
moment relative to the molecule as shown.
Non-polar, zero dipole moment.
Polar. The dipole vector points along one of the C-Cl bonds.
Polar. The dipole vector points along the vertical axis. parallel to the C-H bond.
Polar. The dipole vector points along the horizontal axis.
Polar. The dipole vector is perpendicular to the plane of the figure.
