What does polar and nonpolar mean in science

Chemistry
2 answers:
egoroff_w [7]3 years ago

Polarity refers to the pull of electrons. Some elements like Fluorine and Oxygen pull electrons closer to them in their bonds (electronegativity), meaning they don't share them equally. So if they pull them closer, there is polarity in the molecule because there's a pull of electrons between atoms.

Nonpolar molecules are molecules that have molecular symmetry.

Consider the elements carbon, C and silicon, Si.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

and

Explanation:

All the carbon group atoms, having four valence electrons, form covalent bonds with nonmetal atoms; carbon and silicon cannot lose or gain electrons to form free ions, whereas germanium, tin, and lead do form metallic ions but only with two positive charges

the similarities is that Both carbon and silicon commonly form compounds, easily sharing electrons with other elements. Carbon will make multiple bonds with other carbon molecules by forming single, double and triple covalent bonds. ... Carbon and silicon are often combined, with carbon serving as silicon's backbone.
