the two exceptions to a lone pair making a molecule polar are: _____ molecular geometry of the _______ arrangement and _____ molecular geometry of the _______ arrangement
Added by Teresa J.
Step 1
Molecular polarity is determined by the distribution of electron density across a molecule. When electron density (in the form of lone pairs or bonds) is unevenly distributed, the molecule has a dipole moment, making it polar. However, certain molecular geometries Show more…

The molecular structure of a molecule will differ from its electron-pair geometry if: Select the correct answer below: - the central atom has no lone pairs - the central atom has at least one lone pair - the terminal atoms have no lone pairs - each terminal atom has at least one lone pair

What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 3 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs on the central atom?
There are three compounds with the molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{Br}_{2} .$ Two of these are polar and have a dipole, and one has no dipole (it is not polar). Draw structural formulas for these three compounds and explain why two are polar and the third is not.
