Question

Draw the Lewis structures for the following compounds to assist you in answering this question. CBr₂H₂ BH₃ XeCl₄ SF₄ HCl How many of the compounds are nonpolar?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CBr2H2 and HCl are polar due to their molecular geometry and electronegativity differences. BH3 and XeCl4 are nonpolar because BH3 is trigonal planar with equal bond distribution, and XeCl4 is square planar, which cancels out dipole moments. SF4 is polar due to its seesaw shape.
