“A non-polar molecule can have highly polar bonds”. Justify the statement. |
|
Answer» olar molecule can have highly polar bonds, as molecular dipole is a vector sum of different bond dipoles.For example, there are TWO strong C=O dipoles in , but the molecule's net dipole moment is zero.Dipole moment is is as follows in below diagram. molecule is symmetrical therefore, because it is a linear molecule. In this molecule, CARBON SHARING two OXYGEN atoms, the magnitude of dipole is equal in magnitude but points in opposite directions. |
