Question
11 multiple choice 1 point select the appropriate choice that describes the molecule shown below.
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipole moment due to symmetry. Ionic molecules consist of ions held by ionic bonds. Polar molecules have a net dipole moment because of electronegativity differences and molecular shape.

Without seeing the actual structure details, it's hard to be certain. But if we assume a general understanding of molecular polarity concepts:
If the molecule has an even distribution of charge and symmetric electron - cloud distribution, it is nonpolar. If it has a separation of positive and negative charges due to differences in electronegativity and an asymmetric structure, it is polar. Ionic molecules are composed of ions.
If the molecule has no significant charge separation and is symmetric, the answer is nonpolar. If there is a charge separation due to electronegativity differences and an asymmetric shape, the answer is polar. If it is composed of ions, the answer is ionic.
