Chapter 13, Problem 53E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The neutral molecules which are polar in nature are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The molecule containing two different electronegative atoms when joined through covalent bond, there will be charge distribution. This uneven distribution of charges leads to positive and negative poles. The molecules containing opposite poles has some dipole moment and are said to be polar molecules. Therefore, the molecules having nonzero dipole moment are polar molecules.
