Which molecule is polar, based on structure?

Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

Sulfur dioxide (SO2)

⇒ Why is this the best option?

To determine the polarity of the molecule, there are two requirements. The first one has a variety of terminal atoms, whereas the second has a lone pair on the center atoms. The molecule is polar if one of the requirements is met; else, it is nonpolar. The oxygen atom is a terminal atom because it surrounds the sulfur atom, which is the center element in the SO2 molecule's Lewis structure. In this molecule, there are two terminal oxygen atoms. If we look at the first criterion, we can see that it is not met because it calls for the presence of two separate terminal atoms.

Is the following compound symmetrical going across?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A molecule has a center of symmetry when, for any atom in the molecule, an identical atom exists diametrically opposite this center an equal distance from it(Wikipedia).

A center of symmetry is said to exist in a molecule when reflection of all parts of the molecule through the center of symmetry produces an indistinguishable configuration(Housecroeft and Sharpe,2012)

Obviously, the Cl2 molecule has a center of symmetry, hence it is symmetrical. Reflection of the molecules through its center of symmetry produces an indistinguishable configuration.

Why do you think it would be important for scientists to test local water?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

To see if the water is safe to drink.

Explanation:

It is important for local water to be tested to see how the water quality is and to check if there are any pollutants (such as fertilizers or oil). Most of the world's water is not safe to consume, it would be useful to know what your local water is like.
