How do you sort bonds by polarity

1 answer:

7 0

Your question isn't quite clear, but if you're wondering if a chemical is polar or non-polar, you simply draw a VSEPR sketch and draw arrows where the bonds are. Only draw arrows between atoms, NOT between an atom and a lone pair of electrons. The arrow should point to the most electronegative atom (you should be given an electronegativity scale). Afterwards, you add up the arrows as vectors, and look at the sum of the vectors. If the sum is zero (CH4 is a good example), the chemical is non-polar. If the sum is a vector, the chemical is polar (H2O, or water, is polar).

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Nickel and carbon monoxide react to form nickel carbonyl, like this:

$Ni(s)+4CO(g)\rightarrow Ni(CO)_4(g)$

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 2.6 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of nickel, carbon monoxide, and nickel carbonyl at equilibrium has the following composition:

Compound Amount

Ni 12.7 g

CO 1.98 g

$Ni(CO)_4$ 0.597 g
