Question
- some molecules that are covalently bonded do not have a difference in charge across the mol - ecule. these molecules are referred to as nonpolar. what arrangement of electrons would result in a nonpolar molecule?
Brief Explanations
Non - polar molecules have symmetric electron arrangements. In symmetric molecular geometries like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, etc., the bond dipoles cancel out each other due to the equal and opposite distribution of electron density around the central atom.
