Question

8 multiple choice 1 point select the appropriate choice that describes the molecule shown below. positive electrostatic potential negative polar ionic nonpolar

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential map shows an even distribution of charge around the molecule, lacking distinct positive and negative poles. Non - polar molecules have an even charge distribution due to similar electronegativities of the atoms involved or symmetrical molecular geometry. Polar molecules have a separation of positive and negative charges, and ionic compounds involve the transfer of electrons creating ions. Since the molecule has an even charge distribution as seen in the map, it is non - polar.

Answer:

nonpolar
