3. Predict whether each of the following molecules is polar or non-polar: a) IF, b) CS2, c) SO3, d) PCl3, e) SF6, f) IF5

Respuesta :

a) IF = polar

b) CS2 = non-polar

c) SO3 = non-polar

d) PCl3 = polar

e) SF6 = non-polar (bonds are polar, but the molecule is non-polar, since the                                                                                                                                    net dipole moment is zero)

f) IF5 = polar

The classification of the given molecules as polar or non-polar are;

a) IF; Polar

a) IF; Polarb) CS2; Non - polar c) SO3; Non - polar d) PCl3; Polare) SF6; Non - polar f) IF5; Polar

To answer this question, we need to first understand polar and non - polar molecules.

When we say that a molecule is polar, it means that the arrangement of the atoms is in such a manner that makes one end of the molecule to have a positive electrical charge with the other end having a negative charge. This means that polar molecules are formed from polar covalent bonding when two atoms do not share electrons equally .

When we sat that a molecule is non-polar, what it means is that it does not have electrical poles. This means that it's electrons are shared equally unlike that of polar molecules.

In contrast to polar molecules, non-polar molecules do not have an abundance of charges at the opposite ends. Examples are found in hydrocarbon liquids.

From the Explanations above, we can categorize the given molecules into polar or non polar as;

a) IF; Polar

b) CS2; Non - polar

c) SO3; Non - polar

d) PCl3; Polar

e) SF6; Non - polar

f) IF5; Polar
