Electronegativity
Increases up and right
Dipole moment
Polar
How to find dipole moments
The moment moves towards more electronegative element, make sure they don’t cancel out
Polarity Rules
Any molecule with 1 or 2 lone pairs on central atom is polar (EXCEPT OCTAHEDRAL) & any molecule with different bonds on the outside is polar
