Polar and Non-Polar Molecule

Direction: TRUE or FALSE. Read thefollowing statements below, write TRUE if the statement
is correct, FALSE if it is not.

1. The partial negative end of a dipole is the atom withthe highest electronegativity.

2. HCN is a linear molecule, therefore it is a nonpolarmolecule.

3. A geometry that is symmetrical usually cancels out thepolar bond between the central atom the attached atoms that areidentical.

4. The polarity of a molecule is determined solely by thepolarity of the bond that occurs in the molecule.

5. A more electronegative atom attracts the electron lesscompared to a lesser electronegative atom.

6. BF3 assumes a trigonal planar geometry, it isconsidered a nonpolar.

7. A polar molecule has a partially positive andpartially negative end.

8. When electrons are not shared equally between twoatoms, a polar covalent bond occurs.

9. All molecules that have polar bonds are consideredpolar molecules

10. An unshared pair of electrons make a moleculeasymmetric.
