QUESTION:
Which molecule is polar?

ANSWER:Problem 5SAQWhich molecule is polara)b)c)d) Step by step solutionStep 1 of 4Polar molecule: If the molecular geometry is such that the dipole moments of individual polarbonds sum together to a net dipole moments then the molecule will be polar.Non polar molecule: If the molecular geometry is such that the dipole moments of individualpolar bonds cancel each other (that is, sum to zero) then the molecule will be nonpolar.(a)The given molecule is .The molecular geometry of is bent, and the dipole moments of two polar bonds with anangle of less than 180° between them will not cancel. The resultant dipole moment vector isshown by arrow.Therefore, the molecule is a polar molecule._____________________________________________________________________________
