Answer: A molecule having a covalent bond may be polar or nonpolar.
Explanation: Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons and ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons.
Thus ionic molecules are always polar as they are formed by combination of positively charged ions called cations formed by less electronegative metals and negatively charged ions called anions formed by more electronegative nonmetals.
Covalent molecules which are formed by same elements have no difference in electronegativities are non polar but those formed by different elements having difference in electronegativities are polar.
For eg: Covalent molecule is non polar but covalent molecule
is polar.

Answer:
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.
Explanation:
a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g
Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g
Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x
254 g = 170 g+ x
x = 84 g
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:
b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:
85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg
x =0.03007 kg
Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg
