Question

If a molecule has an unequal distribution of charge in its internal structure, it is said to be _____

Answer 1

Molecules that have an unequal distribution of electrons are called polar.

Answer 2

Answer: The molecule is said to be a polar molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polar molecule is defined as the molecules which is formed from the unequal distribution of electrons amongst the atoms. The atoms which have different electronegativity values will end up forming a polar molecule. In this molecule, a dipole is created.

Atom with more electronegativity value will attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself. Hence, a dipole will be generated. For Example:
`CO_2,H_2O` etc..

A non-polar molecule is defined as the molecule which is formed from the equal sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example:
`H_2,O_2` etc...

Thus, the molecule formed from an unequal distribution of charge is said to be a polar molecule.
