Question

polar bonds non-polar molecule non-polar bonds polar molecule so₂ select all correct options 50/219

Explanation:

To determine the correct options for $\ce{SO_{2}}$:

1. Polar bonds: The $\ce{S - O}$ bond in $\ce{SO_{2}}$ has a difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen, so the bonds are polar.
2. Polar molecule: The molecular geometry of $\ce{SO_{2}}$ is bent (due to a lone pair on sulfur), and the polar bonds do not cancel out, resulting in a net dipole moment, so it is a polar molecule.
3. Non - polar bonds: Since there is an electronegativity difference between $\ce{S}$ and $\ce{O}$, the bonds are not non - polar, so this option is incorrect.
4. Non - polar molecule: As explained above, $\ce{SO_{2}}$ has a net dipole moment, so it is not a non - polar molecule, this option is incorrect.

Answer:

• polar bonds
• Polar molecule
