Which statement best describes the polarity of the molecule PI3?A.It is nonpolar, because the bonds are polar and the molecular geometry does not affect polarity.B.It is polar, because it is a trigonal-planar molecule and the bond polarities between phosphorus (P) and iodine (I) add together.C.It is nonpolar, because it is a trigonal-planar molecule and the bond polarities cancel each other out.D.It is nonpolar, because the electronegativity difference between phosphorus (P) and iodine (I) is very small.SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

Based on its molecular structure, is XeO3 a polar molecule?A.Yes, because the Xe=O bonds are polar and any molecule with polar bonds is a polar molecule.B.No, because the Xe=O bonds are nonpolar.C.Yes, because the Xe=O bonds are polar and have a geometry that gives the molecule a net dipole.D.No, because the Xe=O bonds are polar but have a geometry that causes the dipoles to cancel.

Which statement is true about the p orbitals in sulfur trioxide?Select answer from the options belowThey do not overlap, causing the molecule to be highly polarized.They have inefficient overlap, causing the molecule to be highly polarized.Sulfur trioxide does not have p orbitalsThey have excellent overlap, causing the molecule to be highly polarized.

How can the shape of a molecule determine its polarity?A.A tetrahedral molecule will never be a polar molecule.B.A symmetrical molecule will only have nonpolar bonds.C.A linear molecule will always contain polar bonds.D.A symmetrical molecule cancels out the effects of polar bonds.
