6.1.7: Molecular Polarity - Chemistry LibreTexts
In a polar bond, one atom is positively charged and the other is negatively charged. A molecule (or polyatomic ion) is polar when one side of the molecule is more positive (or more negative) …
3 Ways to Determine the Polarity of a Molecule
The polarity of a molecule can be determined through these three main methods: comparing electronegativity differences, examining molecular geometry and symmetry, and evaluating …
6.4 Polarity of Molecules | Introductory Chemistry
For diatomic molecules, there is only one bond, so its bond dipole moment determines the molecular polarity. Homonuclear diatomic molecules such as Br 2 and N 2 have no difference …
