Question

is the molecule polar or nonpolar? select the single best answer. polar nonpolar

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A molecule is non - polar if its shape is symmetrical and the electronegativity differences between atoms are either zero or symmetrically arranged so that the bond dipoles cancel out. The molecule in the image has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape. The bond dipoles from the central atom to the surrounding atoms will cancel each other out due to the symmetry.

Answer:

Nonpolar
