Open Question
Why is CCl₄ a nonpolar molecule, but is PCl₃ a polar molecule?
Open Question
Match each of the Lewis structures (a to c) with the correct diagram (1 to 3) of its shape, and name the shape; indicate if each molecule is polar or nonpolar. Assume X and Y are nonmetals and all bonds are polar covalent. (6.6, 6.8, 6.9)1.
