bent
A
always polar
8
Q
trigonal pyramidal
A
always polar
9
Q
trigonal planar
A
polar if peripheral atoms aren’t all the same; nonpolar if peripheral atoms are the same
10
Q
linear
A
polar if peripheral atoms aren’t the same, if the atoms diatomic molecule has a bond dipole; no polar if peripheral atoms are the same or if diatomic molecule have same electronegativity value
11
Q
tetrahedral
A
polar if peripheral atoms aren’t the same; nonpolar if peripheral atoms are all the same
