Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.43 Molecular Polarity skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which rule best summarizes when a molecule with polar bonds can still be nonpolar?

AIt is nonpolar whenever it has more than two atoms

BIt is nonpolar whenever all bonds are covalent

CIt is nonpolar whenever the central atom has lone pairs

DIt is nonpolar when the molecular geometry makes all bond dipoles cancel exactly

Solution & Explanation:Molecular polarity depends on the vector sum of bond dipoles. If geometry and symmetry make the dipoles cancel exactly, the molecule is nonpolar even with polar bonds.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A molecule is being evaluated as a polar solvent. Which structural feature gives the strongest evidence that it has a molecular dipole?

AA perfectly symmetric tetrahedral carbon with four identical atoms

BA linear molecule with identical atoms on both ends

CAn O-H group attached to an asymmetric molecular framework

DA trigonal planar molecule with three identical bonds

Solution & Explanation:An O-H bond is strongly polar, and an asymmetric framework can keep dipoles from canceling. The other choices describe symmetric molecules whose dipoles cancel.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A molecule has an inversion center at the central atom, with each polar bond matched by an identical bond directly opposite it. What does that symmetry suggest?

AThe molecule is likely polar because symmetry increases electronegativity

BThe molecule is likely nonpolar because each bond dipole has an equal opposite partner

CThe molecule must be polar because it has polar bonds

DThe molecule's polarity cannot be related to vector cancellation

Solution & Explanation:If every bond dipole is paired with an identical opposite dipole, the vector sum is zero. That kind of symmetry often indicates a nonpolar molecule.
