  • Lewis structure and structural formula

    Label each bond in the molecules in problem #6 polar or nonpolar. H2O: Polar CO2: Polar but dipole of two bonds cancel each other, so the molecule is non polar. SO2: Polar. 8.

  • Explaining a Molecule's Physical Properties

    Polar bonds can result in polar molecules depending on the structure. Polar molecules like polar molecules. So, for example, polar compounds will dissolve in polar solvents but not in non-polar solvents.

  • Colligative Properties/Phase Diagrams/Intermolecular Forces

    The water solubility is due to the fact that water (which is also polar) can break apart these bonds by getting in between the ions in the lattice.

  • Molecular Geometry and Polarity

    The polar P-Cl bonds will pull in a net downward direction. This compound will be polar. Br-Be-F is linear, but F has more pull than Br. This means this compound will also be polar. The only non-polar compound is BCl3.
