I want to thank your team (Jeff) for finding a new writer when you were unable to reach my existing writer to revise my paper. I appreciate your professionalism and efforts. Thanks
A molecule is polar if the bond dipoles do not cancel each other.
STEPS IN DECIDING POLARITY
1. Draw the Lewis structure.
2. Use theory to determine the 3D shape of the molecule.
3. Determine if the molecule is polar — in a polar molecule the bond dipoles do not cancel.
EXAMPLE
Is SF₅Cl a polar molecule?
Solution
The VSEPR shape of SF₅Cl is
The four equatorial S-F bond dipoles (wedges and dashed lines) cancel each other. The axial S-Cl and S-F bonds point in opposite directions and partially cancel each other. But F is more electronegative than Cl, so the S-F dipole is greater than the S-Cl dipole. There will be a net molecular dipole pointing “down”. The molecule is polar.
