Answer:

a) The molecule is always polar.

Explanation:

The molecule is always polar because of two reasons:

  • all the bonds are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen & carbon and chlorine.

                                              AND IMPORTANTLY

  • The molecule is asymmetrical meaning that the dipoles cannot cancel each other out (like they do in methane or carbon dioxide for example) so the net effect is a polar molecule.

Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atom
Rzqust [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of RbIO_2  is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, RbIO_2

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in RbIO_2 = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that RbIO_2  is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.
