Question

Complete the sentences to explain why the molecule ch3f is polar.

Answer 1

A group of environmentalists were discussing the benefits and drawbacks associated with using fossil fuels. Which argument best fits the conversation? 
Fossil fuels are cheaper than alternative forms of energy.Fossil fuel reserves will never be depleted.Fossil fuels are easily renewed. Fossil fuel use does not affect the environment.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes $CH_3F$ is polar.

Explanation:

We know in polar molecules the Vector sum of all the individual bond dipole is non zero.

We know $CH_3F$ is a $sp_3$ hybridized molecule. Therefore, its configuration is tetrahedral with 3 $C-H$ bonds and on $C-F$

bond .

Since fluorine is much electronegative than hydrogen. Therefore, dipole moment of $C-F$ bond is more than dipole moment of $C-H$

bond.

Therefore, vector addition of all the bonds in $sp_3$ hybridization is non zero due to which $CH_3F$ is polar.
