Molecules of diatomic elements contain polar covelent bonds. Asnswer : False.
Is it false because diatomic elements contain 2 non metal elements of the same making them covalent bond but since they are the same, it makes them non-polar. Is this the reason to why is this false?

Question

Molecules of diatomic elements contain polar covelent bonds. Asnswer : False.
Is it false because diatomic elements contain 2 non metal elements of the same making them covalent bond but since they are the same, it makes them non-polar. Is this the reason to why is this false?

somy · Answer

no 
its false again because of electronegativity

somy · Answer

mostly its non polar 
becuase electrons are shared evenly between the 2 atoms in diatomic molecule

somy · Answer

in case of Florine its polar, because of its very high electronegativity

anonymous · Answer

So from all Diatomic elements, the only reason is false is because of Florine?

somy · Answer

no no no 
its false because as i said electrons are shared evenly 
did watch the vid i gave the link for in previous question?

somy · Answer

when electrons are shared evenly --- non polar 
when unevenly --- polar

anonymous · Answer

Yes I know but Diatomic elements are H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2 , I2

anonymous · Answer

so far what I understood, those of 7 valence electrons usually wants to grab more than normal so that is what makes them polar. am I right? Meanwhile lower than 6 valence electrons don't tend to do that and make a non polarity one. Example H2 = non polar

somy · Answer

hmm kinda right but not really 
as u know electonegativity increases across the period and  from bottom to up in groups

anonymous · Answer

Yes from left to right and bottom to up

somy · Answer

thats why F is most electronegative element 
and that is the reason for its molecule F2 to be polar covalent 

other diatomic molecules are all non polar as far as i know

anonymous · Answer

so Fluorine is the only diatomic element to do that kind of problematic stealing of electrons issue =.=?

somy · Answer

lol yes that's right

anonymous · Answer

When I said that, you answered "no no no 
its false because as i said electrons are shared evenly 
did watch the vid i gave the link for in previous question?    " =.=

somy · Answer

So from all Diatomic elements, the only reason is false is because of Florine? 
lol this is opposite way round 
the reason its false is because of ALL DIATOMIC elements lol

anonymous · Answer

uh oh right. Fluorine is the only polar while the rest are non polars =.=. Thanks!

u r welcome :))
