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.

Polar molecules are molecules are essentially have no molecular symmetry. 

Nonpolar molecules are molecules that have molecular symmetry.

Water is a very basic example of a polar molecule.

Of the molecules below, only ________ is polar.a. SiCl4 b. CH4 c. CCl4 d. SeF4
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

SeF4 is a polar molecule

Explanation:

SeF4 is a polar molecule because a polar molecule is any molecule that have lone pairs of electrons in the central atom or have atoms that are electronegative and the electrons between that are covalently bonded are not evenly distributed.

The electronegative atoms of flourine in SeF4 are not evenly distributed and kind pairs of electrons are on the central atom.

To name the compound written as CuCl2, you would write:
vovangra [49]

Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:

Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)

Cl = —1

Cu + 2(—1) = 0

Cu —2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 +2

Cu = +2

Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.

The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.

Please help me with chem, it would be very appreciated!
Lelu [443]

To determine the shapes of molecules, we must become acquainted with the Lewis electron dot structure. Although the Lewis theory does not determine the shapes of molecules, it is the first step in predicting shapes of molecules. The Lewis structure helps us identify the bond pairs and the lone pairs.

Why is an electron ejected when green light hits the metal?
Roman55 [17]

Explanation:

If a large photon strikes the surface, that has enough strength to take out an electrode, which will then travel to the positive side since it is negative. Current is flowing at this stage. Since the reduced photons will be unable to distinguish between atoms, no power can pass.
