Q

What is a net dipole moment?

Q

What does a molecule need in order to be polar?

A

polar bonds and a net dipole moment

17
Q

How do you know if a molecule has polar bonds?

A

If the difference in electronegativity for the atoms in a bond is greater than 0.5

18
Q

What kind of bond is it when ∆electronegativity is below 0.5?

A

nonpolar covalent bond

19
Q

What kind of bond is it when ∆electronegativity is between 0.5 and 2?

A

polar covalent bond

20
Q

A

fully polar

21
Q

Can a molecule be polar if it has no net dipole moment?

A

no

22
Q

Do PFAs molecules have net dipole moments?

A

no, therefore is nonpolar
