Question

Which of the following molecules is polar? (Nonbonding electrons have been omitted.)

A. CH4

B) CH3Cl

C) CCl4

D) CBr

Answer 1

Please help me :(

Answer 2

Is CH3Cl symmetrical in its molecular geometry?

Answer 3

If it's asymmetric it's polar

Answer 4

Exactly, abb0t.

Answer 5

so the correct answer is B ?

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Thank you so much:)

Answer 8

No problem :)

Answer 9

I would argue that CBr is also polar. It's linear and there is a significant difference in electronegativity.

Answer 10

Then which of them is most polar?

Answer 11

methyl bromide is the "more" polar. But arguable, CBr is also polar.

Answer 12

So B is the correct answer? @abb0t
