Question

Highlight the correct answer - polar or non polar

1. A (polar / non-polar) bond is one where there are more shared electrons grouped around one atom than the other.

2. A (polar / non-polar) bond is one where the electrons are evenly distributed between the two atoms sharing electrons.

3. A molecule with symmetry is (polar / non-polar).

4. A molecule that does not have symmetry is (polar / non-polar).

5. A (polar / non-polar) molecule has its valence electrons evenly distributed around the molecule.

6. A (polar / non-polar) molecule has one of its sides with more or fewer electrons than the other sides.

Answer 1

1. Polar

2. Non-polar

3. Non-polar

4. Polar

5. Non-polar

6. Polar

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar bonds are formed between molecules that share electrons unequally/unevenly. In a polar molecule, one atom is more electronegative than the other i.e it attracts/pulls more electrons than the other atom, hence, it ends up leaving the other atom with a positive charge i.e fewer electrons around its atom. Also, every molecule that has a symmetrical arrangement is NON-POLAR while the opposite is POLAR.

Based on this, the answers to the asked questions are in BOLD.

1. A POLAR bond is one where there are more shared electrons grouped around one atom than the other.

2. A NON-POLAR bond is one where the electrons are evenly distributed between the two atoms sharing electrons.

3. A molecule with symmetry is NON-POLAR

4. A molecule that does not have symmetry is POLAR.

5. A NON-POLAR molecule has its valence electrons evenly distributed around the molecule.

6. A POLAR molecule has one of its sides with more or fewer electrons than the other sides.
