Can anyone help me with this since it is a quiz and I am really bad at chemistry!!

Answer:
Explanation:
Geometrical symmetry of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds determine the polarity of the molecule.
The molecule that has zero dipole moment that means it is a geometrically symmetric molecule and the molecule which has some net dipole moment means it is a geometrically asymmetric molecule.
As the molecule is symmetric, the dipole moment will be zero as dipole moments cancel each other and the molecule will be non-polar.
As the molecule is asymmetric, the dipole moment will not be zero and the molecule will be polar.
Example:
Thus, we can say that is a polar molecule.
The empirical formula : MnO₂.
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
632mg of manganese(Mn) = 0.632 g
368mg of oxygen(O) = 0.368 g
M Mn = 55
M O = 16

The empirical formula
Solution
You didn't include the pictures, but the steps for finding the empirical formula are generally the same
- Find mol(mass : atomic mass)
Mn : 0.632 : 55 = 0.0115
O : 0.368 : 16 =0.023
- Divide by the smallest mol(Mn=0.0115)
Mn : O =
