If you change the shape you can eliminate the molecular dipole, even though there are still polar bonds. It turns out that geometry, or shape, of the molecule is also important in determining if it is polar. Change the electronegativity of Atom C all so that it is all the way to the left under "less." Atom B is at "less and Atom A is at "more". What happened to the molecular dipole? O It points to B O it disappears Olt points to A It points to C
