Question

(a) what conditions must be met if a molecule with polar bonds is nonpolar? (select all that apply.) the polar bonds must be opposite each other. all the dipole bonds face away from the central atom. the polar bonds must be symmetrically arranged. all the dipole bonds face toward the central atom. incorrect: your answer is incorrect.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The conditions that must be met include the following;

- the polar bonds must be opposite each other

- the polar bonds must be symmetrically arranged

- all the dipole bonds face toward the central atom.

When a bond is polar, it creates a dipole, a pair of charges (one positive and one negative). If they are arranged in a symmetrical shape, so that they point in opposite directions, they will cancel each other making it non polar.

Answer 2

The polar bonds must be symmetrically arranged.
