Is BrCl5 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

BrCl5 is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that BrCl5 is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! BrCl5 is a POLAR molecule because it has a lone pair of electrons on the Bromine atom (Br) which causes the entire molecule to bend. This bending of BrCl5 … Read more

Is KrF2 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

KrF2 is a NONPOLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that KrF2 is a nonpolar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! KrF2 is a NONPOLAR molecule because both the bonds (Kr-F bonds) are identical and KrF2 has symmetrical geometry which cancels out the bond polarity. Let me explain this in … Read more

Is NH2- Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

NH2- ion is a POLAR ion. But why?  And how can you say that NH2- is a polar ion? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! NH2- ion is a POLAR ion because the N-H bonds present in the ion are polar and it has asymmetric geometry which causes the partial positive (ẟ+) and … Read more

Is IBr3 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

IBr3 is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that IBr3 is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! IBr3 is a POLAR molecule because it has two lone pairs of electrons on the Iodine atom (I) which causes the entire molecule to bend. This bending of IBr3 … Read more

Is HNO3 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

HNO3 is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that HNO3 is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! HNO3 is a POLAR molecule because the O-H bond present in the molecule is polar, which causes the partial positive (ẟ+) and partial negative (ẟ-) charge to appear on … Read more

by

NH2Cl is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that NH2Cl is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! NH2Cl is a POLAR molecule because the N-H bonds present in the molecule are polar and it has asymmetric geometry which causes the partial positive (ẟ+) and partial negative … Read more

Is IOF5 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

IOF5 is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that IOF5 is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! IOF5 is a POLAR molecule because the I-F bonds and I=O bond present in the molecule are polar and it has asymmetric geometry which causes the partial positive (ẟ+) … Read more

Is Cyclohexane (C6H12) Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

Cyclohexane (C6H12) is a NONPOLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that cyclohexane is a nonpolar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! Cyclohexane (or C6H12) is a NONPOLAR molecule because all the individual bonds are nonpolar and cyclohexane has symmetrical geometry. In other words, the electronegativity difference of these bonds … Read more

by

BeH2 is a NONPOLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that BeH2 is a nonpolar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! BeH2 is a NONPOLAR molecule because both the bonds (Be-H bonds) are identical and BeH2 has symmetrical geometry which cancels out the bond polarity. Let me explain this in … Read more

Is BBr3 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

BBr3 is a NONPOLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that BBr3 is a nonpolar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! BBr3 is a NONPOLAR molecule because all the three bonds (B-Br bonds) are identical and BBr3 has symmetrical geometry which cancels out the bond polarity. Let me explain this … Read more
