What is the name for the type of chemical formula that merely expresses the lowest ratio of the elements in a compound?

The empirical formula is often the same as the molecular formula but not always. For example, the molecule acetylene has molecular formula C2H2, but the simplest integer ratio of elements is CH.

Determine whether each molecule given below is polar or nonpolar. of2

Answer : The molecule $OF_2$ is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, $OF_2$

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of $OF_2$ is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule $OF_2$ is polar.
