Question

(41). Which of the following molecules is (are) polar? For each

polar molecule, indicate the direction of polarity—that is,
which is the negative end, and which is the positive end
of the molecule.
(a) BeCl2
(c) CH3C
(b) HBF,
(d) SO3

Answer 1

The oxygen is the negative end of the molecule, while the area between the hydrogen atoms is the positive end of the molecule. Figure 2. Water is a polar molecule, as greater electron density is found around the more electronegative oxygen atom.
