O=O

Polarity is determined by the difference in electronegativity (EN) between the bonded atoms. An EN of zero is nonpolar. Since the two oxygen atoms have the same EN, their EN difference is zero, so the bond between them is nonpolar, and oxygen (O2) is a nonpolar molecule.

Is equals C equals a correct bond?

Equals C equals is not a correct bond. In order to create a bond, you will need to have an elemental symbon on either side of the equal sign. C equals C would be a correct bond type.


What is the molar geometry of ChClO?

If you draw out the Lewis Structure you can see that CHClO has a central atom of C with a single bond to H, a single bond to Cl, and a double bond to O. Since C has 4 bonds it is happy with all of its 8 electrons and has no lone pair electrons; therefor there are only 3 forces off of C that we have to worry about. These 3 forces are going to want to push each other away as far as possible. While Cl is going to be stronger than H in pushing force the farthest possible is still going to be trigonal planar geometry, which is a flat 2D triangle, like what you would draw on paper when sketching the Lewis structure. The approximate bond angles in CHClO are therefor going to be 120o (360o/3 = 120o). However, for future reference, the approximate bond angles are only exact when all charge clouds are equivalent. For example, CHClO is trigonal planar with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees, but BCl3 is trigonal planar with bond angles of exactly 120 degrees. Molecules that contain a lone pair on the central atom show even more distortion in the bond angles.


Is it possible for a compound that contains polar bonds to be a non polar compound?

Yes, it is.A compound is non-polar if there is no net dipole.This can be achieved through one of the following:It has no polar bonds orThe shape of the molecule is such that the dipoles created cancel out.This means that a compound with polar bonds must have a symmetrical shape in order for it to be non-polar.Take CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride). The C-Cl bond is polar, however, the shape of the molecule is tetrahedral - it is symmetrical and so dipoles cancel out. Therefore, it is non-polar.

How the hybridization of c atoms in c-c single bond of HC---C-CH--CH2 is sp3-sp?

The compound HCCCHCH2 contains a triple bond and a double bond. Working along the molecule left to right the hybridisation of the carbon atoms is:-sp ;sp ; sp2 ; sp2The formula for a 4 carbon chain containing an sp3 - sp single bond would beHCCCH2CH3where the hybridisation left to right issp ; sp ; sp3 ; sp3

What kind of covalent bond is formed with two nonmetals?

A covalent bond formed between two nonmetals is called a nonpolar covalent bond. In this type of bond, the shared pair of electrons is equally distributed between the two atoms, leading to a balanced electrical charge overall.


What is the polar covalent bond of C-H?

How is the difference between polar and non polar related to electronegative?

What creates dipole moments in polar molecules is dependent in the length of the bond, the size of the atoms, and the electronegativity of the atoms, for example the C-Cl bond is much more polar than the C-N bond because Cl is more electronegative. Do keep in mind though that if the molecule is symmetrical the dipole moments can cancel out to become 0. Hope this answers your question.


Can you consider C-O a polar bond?

Yes, it is a polar bond. The electronegativity difference is 1.0, and differences of 0.4 - 1.7 are polar covalent.


Is chloroform polar as compared to carbon tetra chloride?

Yes, chloroform is more polar than carbon tetrachloride because it contains a polar C-Cl bond. Carbon tetrachloride, on the other hand, consists of C-Cl bonds which are nonpolar. Polar molecules have a partial positive and partial negative charge, while nonpolar molecules have an even distribution of charge.

Can CH2OH be miscible in water yet contain carbon?

There is no such compound as CH2OH. The compounds CH2O (formaldehyde) and CH3OH (methanol) do exist. Both contain carbon and are miscible in water for largely the same reason. Formaldehyde contains a highly polar C-O double bond while methanol contains both a polar C-O bond and a polar O-H bond. Polar bonds tend to make molecules water soluble.


Is there a polar bond in ch4?

No, methane (CH4) does not have a polar bond since carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.


Is C - 0 a non polar covalent bond?

Yes, C - C is a nonpolar covalent bond because carbon has the same electronegativity, resulting in equal sharing of electrons between the two atoms.


Is cf3cl polar or nonpolar?

CF3Cl is a polar molecule. There are 3 C-F polar bond and 1 C-Cl polar bond. Since the difference in electronegative between C and F is not the same as that of C and Cl, therefore their bond polarities are not the same which results in the compound is a polar molcule.
