Polar and Nonpolar Molecules: How To determine if a Molecule is Polar or Nonpolar

This video provides the best and fast way for you to determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar. It provides examples so you can quickly distinguish nonpolar molecules from those that are polar. Learn to determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar based on the polarity between bonds and the molecular geometry (shape). We start with the polarity between bonds using the electronegativity (EN) values on the Periodic Table provided. After that we’ll look at how the shape of the molecule, based on VSEPR allows us to determine if the entire molecule is polar or nonpolar. In the video you will also learn how to deal with unbonded electron pairs (lone) and how it affects the symmetry and polarity of molecules. #VSEPR_Vs_Polarity #Polar_Nonpolar #Net_Dipole_Moment #Electronegativity_Polarity #Lone_Pairs_Polarity Examples : #BCl3 (Boron trichloride)is polar or not ? #CO2 (Carbon dioxide)is polar or not ? #SO3 (Sulfur trioxide)is polar or not ? #CH4 (Methane)is polar or not ? #PH3 (phosphine)is polar or not ? #ASH3 (Arsine) is polar or not ? #NH3 (Ammonia)is polar or not ? #H2O (is polar or not ?? #SO2 (Sulfur dioxide) is polar or not ? #BH2F is polar or not ? This video looks at how to determine polarity in a molecule by understanding how the bond polarities, molecule shape, and outside atoms influence polarity. A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges (i.e. having partial positive and partial negative charges) from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically. Water (H2O) is an example of a polar molecule since it has a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other. The dipoles do not cancel out resulting in a net dipole. Due to the polar nature of the water molecule itself, polar molecules are generally able to dissolve in water. the bond dipole moments of the molecule do not cancel, the molecule is polar. For example, the water molecule (H2O) contains two polar O−H bonds in a bent (nonlinear) geometry. The bond dipole moments do not cancel, so that the molecule forms a molecular dipole with its negative pole at the oxygen and its positive pole midway between the two hydrogen atoms #polarity_of_Molecular_compounds lewis structure,types of bonds, chemical bonds, metallic bond,ionic bond,covalent bond,S block elements, chapter 4,alkali metals properties.group 5A elements,molecular orbital theory,VSEPR theory,octet rule.
