The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space. {I don’t know if it’s right, I‘m just trying to help}

He discovered choice C! this is because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons
Answer:
H-O-H polar
O-C-O nonpolar
H-C-N polar
Explanation:
Looking up the electronegativities of the atoms involved in this question, we have:
Atom Electronegativity
H 2.2
C 2.55
N 3.04
O 3.44
All of the atoms differ in electronegativity resulting in individual dipole moments in H-O, O-C, H-C and C-N bonds. To find if the molecules will be polar we need to consider the structure of the compound to see if there is a resultant dipole moment.
In H-O-H, we have 2 lone pairs of electrons around the central oxygen atom which push the angle H-O-H of the ideal tetrahedral structure to be smaller than 109.5 º resulting in an overall dipole moment making it polar.
In O-C-O, we have two dipole moments that exactly cancel each other in the linear molecule since the central carbon atom does not have lone pairs of electrons since it has 2 double bonds. Therefore the molecule is nonpolar.
In H-C-N, again we have have a central carbon atom without lone pairs of electrons and the shape of the molecule is linear. But, now we have that the dipole moment in C-N is stronger than the H-C dipole because of the difference in electronegativity of nitrogen compared to hydrogen. The molecule has an overall dipole moment and it is polar.
