Is Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Polar or Nonpolar? (Why? & How?)

by

Hydrogen chloride (or HCl or hydrochloric acid) is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that HCl is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! Hydrogen chloride (or HCl or hydrochloric acid) is a POLAR molecule because any two bonding atoms whose electronegativity difference is between 0.4 to … Read more

Is CS2 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

CS2 is a NONPOLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that CS2 is a nonpolar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! CS2 is a NONPOLAR molecule because both the bonds (C=S bonds) are identical and CS2 has symmetrical geometry which cancels out the bond polarity. Let me explain this in … Read more

Is SO2 Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

SO2 is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that SO2 is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! SO2 is a POLAR molecule because the Oxygen (O) present in the molecule is more electronegative, which causes the partial positive (ẟ+) and partial negative (ẟ-) charge to appear … Read more

by

H2O (Water) is a POLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that H2O is a polar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! H2O (or Water) is a POLAR molecule because the Oxygen (O) present in the molecule is more electronegative, which causes the partial positive (ẟ+) and partial negative (ẟ-) … Read more

Is CH4 (Methane) Polar or Nonpolar? (And Why?)

by

CH4 (Methane) is a NONPOLAR molecule. But why?  And how can you say that CH4 is a nonpolar molecule? Want to know the reason?Let’s dive into it! CH4 (or Methane) is a NONPOLAR molecule because all the four bonds (C-H bonds) are identical and CH4 has symmetrical geometry. Also the electronegativity difference of Carbon atom … Read more
