[@dionel1388]

But wait,,, what about water?

[@thevileruler]

Dion Advincula water polar because one side is more negative than another, the hydrogens want to give their electrons to oxygen due to its higher electronegativity. when something is polar it has a side that’s more negative than the others and because oxygen is more negative then the hydrogens it forms a point of negativity. O < H ^ H

[@TheOrganicChemistryTutor]

No Problem

[@WoollyWalrus]

The Organic Chemistry Tutor why is BF3 non-polar and NF3 is polar?

[@ericchen5548]

B doesnt have 8 electrons around it its an exception(it only needs 6 electrons) , i think the rest of the elements needs 8 electrons. therefor it DOESNT have the lone pair to form a trigonal pyramidal,it will form a trigonal planer . N needs 8 so therefore i will have a lone pair of electrons which WILL form a trigonal pyramidal

[@michaelcheverie7579]

hanna issa BF3 is a trigonal planar (2Dim.) molecule with no unbonded pairs of electrons. In NH3 the N atom has sp3 hybridization, making it a 3Dim. tetrahedron. Tetrahedral atoms have, potentially, up to four bonding locations. In NH3, three of those locations on the nitrogen are occupied by hydrogen atoms. The fourth location is occupied by a pair of unbonded electrons. The unbonded pair tends to push the other bonded pairs away. The unbonded pair has a very strong negative aspect, whereas the negative aspect of the other three bonded pairs are "diluted" by the more positive hydrogen atoms to which they are connected. Therefore, the end of the NH3 molecule with the unbonded pair will be more negative than the opposite end. This makes the molecule polar.

You can also use Electronegativity Ranges Nonpolar Covalent = 0 - 0.5 Polar Covalent = 0.5 - 1.7 Ionic = 1.7 - higher

[@simmy4619]

Ionic bonds considered polar or non-polar?

[@heyheyheyhey376]

@@simmy4619 if i'm not mistaken, polar and non-polar are just for covalent, so ionic bond is neither of them.. ionic is charged while polar and non-polar are partially charged ( that's why it is delta + or delta - ).. correct me if i'm wrong

[@simmy4619]

@@heyheyheyhey376 ahh that makes sense. I think you’re right. So if the EN difference is equal to or greater than 1.7, it’s not sharing electrons, rather using the give and take method

When you say that the molecule is symmetrical it is non-polar, how so? Because something like CF4 would have a tetrahedral shape which contains 2 bonds in the same plane, 1 going out of the page and 1 going into the page so it wouldn't be symmetrical. Please can you clarify what you mean by symmetrical? Thanks

[@sosafrmdaave4079]

he means symmetrical as in the outside chemicles ares identicle

[@shubhampathak7926]

tetrahedral is a symmetrical shape as if you cut a tetrahedron from any point passing through its axis you will get a congruent part of it , now talking about polarity : the vector sum of three bonds is equal and opposite to the 4th bond thus it is non -polar

How to calculate the electronegativity because its usually not mentioned in the question.

[@johnstonwangstar]

Anything above or to the right of an atom on the periodic table has higher electronegativity. e.g. Li has higher electronegativity (1.0) than Cs (0.8), because it's 4 periods higher. C has higher electronegativity (2.6) than Li (1.0) because it's to the right of Li. Also, you can check this on most periodic tables.

[@aditipatra6837]

+Preston Garvey I see.. tysm

[@tonykingjhon]

How do you get these specific numbers, though? the (1.0), (0.8), (2.6), etc...

You'll have to look at a periodic table for that. But you can make general estimates for some of them.
