Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Check for symmetry

The molecule has an asymmetric arrangement due to the different - colored atoms (indicating different elements), which leads to an uneven distribution of charge.

Step2: Recall polarity concept

Polar molecules have a net dipole moment due to unequal sharing of electrons and asymmetric shape. This molecule fits that description.

Answer:

Polar
