Question

What factors determine whether a molecule is polar?

Answer 1

hope this helps
A polar molecule is a molecule that has a net dipole moment due to its having unsymmetrical polar bonds.

Two factors go into determining if a molecule is a polar. To determine if a molecule (or ion) is polar or non-polar, you must determine both factors.

The polarity of the individual bonds in the molecule;
The shape or geometry of the molecule

Answer 2

Thanks so much! can u answer another question for me please?

Answer 3

sure

Answer 4

How do attractions between polar molecules compare to attractions between nonpolar molecules?

Answer 5

attractions between polar molecules are stronger than attractions between non polar molecules

Answer 6

Okay :) thanks again!

Answer 7

anytime

Answer 8

What happens when atoms don't share electrons equally?

Answer 9

When atoms form a polar covalent bond the atoms with a greater attraction for electrons has a partial negative charge. The other atom has a partial positive charge.
