Question

Use the periodic table to identify each of the following bonds as polar or nonpolar.

Answer 1

Answer:

C - Cl = Polar (Chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.16 and Carbon has 2.55. The difference between the two determines if the bond is polar or non polar, and the difference is 0.61 which means its polar)

Br - Br = Non-polar (Diatomic molecules are non-polar)

N - O= Non-polar ( The electronegativity difference is 0.4, making it non-polar)

P - Cl= Polar (The difference in electronegativity between them is 0.97, making it polar)
