#4
Front (Question)

Explain the polarity of this molecule

Card front image
Back (Answer)

Polar because it has a permanent dipole

#5
Front (Question)

Carbon dioxide contains polar bonds. Why is it a non-polar molecule?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

Because bond dipoles cancel out, so it has no permanent dipole

#6
Front (Question)

Both molecules have the same shape, but only ammonia is polar. Explain why.

Back (Answer)

N−Cl bonds are non-polar/pure covalent. N−H bonds are polar. No polar bonds = molecule is non-polar
