Chapter 10, Problem 10.100QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the given molecules, molecules that are polar have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The polar molecules possess charge separation in them.  The charge separation arises due to the difference in the electronegativities between the atoms in a molecule. So, polar molecules possess a permanent dipole moment in them.  There won’t be electronegativity difference between the atoms in non-polar molecules.  Hence charge separation does not arise in the non-polar molecules.  So, non-polar molecules do not possess dipole moment in them.
