Determine whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar.

1 answer:

6 0

A) Sulfur dichloride (SCl₂) is polar molecule because is bent with asymmetric charge distribution around the central atom (S).
b) Sulfur tetrachloride (SCl₄) is polar because there is lone electron pair around the sulfur.
c) Bromine pentachloride (BrCl₅) is polar because dipole moment do not cancel.

dangina [55]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A 7.00 L tank at $21.4^oC$ is filled with 5.43 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas and 14.2 g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas. Round each of your answers to significant digits.
