10.3 - Molecular Polarity

A molecule is polar if

difference in electronegativity is not the same between all bond

if the same between all bonds, ensure that molecular is shaped in a way that makes it cancel out

a molecule is nonpolar if

all the bonds have the same difference in electronegativity and molecule is shaped in a way that it cancels out

are diatomic molecules polsar or nonpolar

nonpolar

what is a cisisomer

when the same atom(s) in a compound are adjacent in lewis structure

what is a trans isomer

when the same atom(s) is a compound are opposite of eachother in lewis structure

memorize electronegativyt on formula sheet

are complete (MEANING NO LONE PAIRS) linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral moleulcar shapes polar or on polar?

nonpolar, if there are lone pairs they are polar
