Answer: Sulphur Dioxide

Explanation: Polarity of the molecule is basically based on -

a) Electro negativity of the individual atoms

b) Structure of the molecule as change will dipole moment or asymmetric structure will lead to the polar molecule.

Sulfur Dioxide has bent structure with 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs. . Thus the molecule is polar

Carbon disulfide has linear structure. Thus there will be no change in dipole moment in the structure thus in non polar.

Ethylene molecule is the most linear molecule thus cannot be polar.

Carbon Tetra chloride is in shape of Tetrahedron thus it is also non polar as no net change in dipole moment can be seen.

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible

Goryan [66]

Answer:
The molecules of a substance which must have the ability to move past one another are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
