Question

question 18 of 28. which of the following is a nonpolar molecule? a. a bent nitrogen dioxide molecule (no2) with nitrogen in the center b. a linear nitrogen oxide molecule (n2o) with nitrogen in the center c. a nitrogen molecule (n2) d. a nitrogen monoxide molecule (no)

Explanation:

A nonpolar molecule has no net dipole moment, typically due to symmetric polar bonds canceling or nonpolar bonds. N₂ (nitrogen molecule) consists of two identical N atoms with nonpolar bonds, resulting in no dipole moment. Other options have polar bonds or asymmetric shapes causing net polarity.

Answer:

C. A nitrogen molecule (N₂)
