Question

Based on the symmetry of the molecules, which is a polar molecule? A. )SeCl2 (bent) B.) BeCl2 (linear) C.) BF3 (trigonal planar) D.) CF4 (tetrahedral) E.) O2 (diatomic linear)

Answer 1

A.) SeCl2, as it has distorted structure i.e. bent which may rise unsymmetrical dipole moment and hence give nett dipole moment, and is polar in nature.
